HOLD Clear

Maintain the current position and wait for clarity from the investigation and confirmation of stable operations at Reserva before considering new buys.

Strong production growth and normalized exports confirm the operational turnaround but one-off items and margin pressure create continued uncertainty around profitability.

Market sentiment Positive ↑
Trend: Improving

Investor forum sentiment remains positive driven by rising zinc prices and expected production growth.

Risk assessment High
Dilution: Low Cash is reported to have increased to ~US$66.7M in the FY2025 release, further reducing near-term financing needs assuming continued cash generation and debt repayment.
Jurisdiction: Medium
Execution: Medium
Cash flow: 18 mo

HOLD is the call. Positive is the market mood. High risk means a lot can go wrong.
