Risks Associated (High)

Investment in the IPO of "AEN" is exposed to a variety of risks such as:

  • Limited History: The company was founded on June 3, 2021, and it has limited operating history and limited financial performance. Moreover, the company has not generated any revenue till date.
  • Exploration and Development Risk: The tenements are often filled with historic workings with limited recent exploration. There is no guarantee that exploration of the permits, or any other tenements acquired in the future, will result in the finding of an economically viable mining deposit.
  • Commodity Market: Global supply and demand variations affect the gold, copper, and other metal markets. These supply and demand changes may result in volatility in commodity prices, which will have an influence on the Company's finances as well as the probable profitability of the projects.

Conclusion

The Company is currently in the primary stage of mining and has acquired a portfolio of exploration and development assets in central Cyprus that are prospective for gold and base metals such as copper, nickel, and cobalt. Furthermore, the Company is well positioned to leverage on Europe's expanding interest in copper, nickel, and cobalt mining due to anticipated demand from electric vehicles and renewable energy/storage. Additionally, the firm has a limited history of operations, and has not yet recognized any revenue; moreover, it has declared net losses due to higher operational expenditures incurred in operational activities.

Therefore, based on the above rationales, we have assigned the IPO of Aeramentum Resources Limited, with a “Neutral” rating. This IPO is only suitable for investors with a high-risk appetite given the associated risks and the current market scenario [basis further evaluation].
