Key Management Highlights

Risk Associated (High)

Investment in the IPO of “DY6” is exposed to a variety of risks such as:

• Limited Operational history: Since the Company was only recently formed on 3 November 2022, there isn't much operational or financial data on which to base an assessment of its operations and prospects. The prospects of the Company must be taken into account in light of the dangers, costs, and challenges typically experienced by businesses in their early phases of growth, particularly in the very risky and unpredictable mineral exploration industry.
• Operations in Malawi: The Projects of the Company are situated in Malawi. There is no assurance that Malawi's political atmosphere will remain stable and advantageous for foreign investments in the future, and it is possible that the country's governing, regulatory, and legal systems may alter.
• Grant and renewal of tenements: The upkeep (including renewal) of the tenements in which the company has or acquires a stake is necessary for the company's exploratory efforts. The upkeep of the Company's tenements depends on a number of factors, including the Company's ability to satisfy the license conditions imposed by relevant authorities, including minimum annual expenditure requirements, which in turn depends on the Company having enough funding to satisfy those expenditure requirements.
• Price of underlying commodities: Commodity prices vary and are influenced by a wide range of external variables that are outside the Company's control. These variables include the global demand for base metals, producers' forward selling, and levels of production costs in the principal metal-producing countries. Furthermore, macroeconomic factors like expectations for inflation, interest rates, global and regional demand, and supply for the commodity, as well as general global economic conditions, also have an impact on commodity prices. The Company's exploration, development, and production activities, as well as its capacity to finance such efforts, may be negatively impacted by these circumstances.

Conclusion

The Firm is a mining exploration company; however, it currently generates no income. Therefore, the Company won't be able to make money unless it can show that minerals are found at the Projects, that they can be mined and sold, if any, and that they are commercially recoverable. The Corporation may make money by selling its property and/or by obtaining royalties from the Projects. As a result, it is important to understand that the Company's ability to profit from its operations depends on several uncertain future events as well as the high volatility of the prices of the underlying commodities.

Hence, given the financial performance of the company for the period ending December 31, 2022, incurred net losses, and associated risks “DY6 Metals Ltd (DY6)” IPO seems “Neutral" at the IPO price.
