As 2025 begins, the Canadian market is navigating through a period of uncertainty due to new U.S. policies on tariffs and energy, yet the TSX index has seen positive movement since Inauguration Day. Amid these shifting conditions, investors might find opportunities in penny stocks, which often represent smaller or newer companies with potential for growth despite their historical connotations. While the term "penny stocks" may seem outdated, these investments can still offer significant value when backed by strong financials and clear growth paths.

The company's volatile share price and limited cash runway are concerns; however, additional capital raised recently may provide some financial cushioning as it continues its exploration activities.
