Overview: Cadoux Limited focuses on the exploration, evaluation, and development of mineral properties in Australia and Southeast Asia with a market cap of A$17.43 million.
Operations: No specific revenue segments are reported.
Market Cap: A$17.43M
Cadoux Limited, with a market cap of A$17.43 million, is pre-revenue and unprofitable, reporting a net loss of A$3.74 million for the year ending June 30, 2024. Despite this, the company maintains a strong financial position with no debt and short-term assets (A$6.5M) exceeding liabilities (A$598.7K). The management team and board are experienced with average tenures of 13.8 years and 10.3 years respectively, which may provide stability amidst high share price volatility over recent months. However, Cadoux faces challenges including less than one year of cash runway if cash flow reductions persist at historical rates.
