Apollo Silver
Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★★
Overview: Apollo Silver Corp. is involved in the exploration and development of silver properties in the United States, with a market cap of CA$50.66 million.
Operations: Apollo Silver Corp. has not reported any revenue segments.
Market Cap: CA$50.66M
Apollo Silver Corp., with a market cap of CA$50.66 million, is pre-revenue and currently unprofitable, reflecting its stage as an exploration-focused entity in the mining sector. Despite this, it remains debt-free and has sufficient short-term assets to cover liabilities. The company recently announced a non-brokered private placement to raise up to CA$10 million, potentially extending its cash runway beyond the current eight months forecasted from free cash flow estimates. Additionally, Apollo’s board has seen recent changes with the appointment of Alex Tsakumis, bringing extensive industry expertise that may influence strategic direction positively.

Overview: Metallic Minerals Corp. focuses on acquiring, exploring, and developing mineral properties in Canada and the United States, with a market cap of CA$37.80 million.
Operations: Metallic Minerals Corp. has not reported any revenue segments.
Market Cap: CA$37.8M
Metallic Minerals Corp., with a market cap of CA$37.80 million, is pre-revenue and unprofitable, typical for an exploration-focused entity. The company is debt-free and has no long-term liabilities, though shareholders experienced dilution with a 5.5% increase in shares outstanding over the past year. Short-term assets of CA$1.6 million comfortably cover its short-term liabilities of CA$147.4K, but its cash runway was limited to one month as of April 2024 before raising additional capital. Despite high share price volatility, the management team and board are considered experienced, potentially guiding strategic advancements effectively.
