Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Concrete near-term catalysts include FAST-41 permitting progress, surface drilling results, and a late-July MRE update; hedging completion reduces downside exposure and could lift cash-flow visibility. Positive assay results or faster-permitting timelines could cue a re-rating, while delays would temper upside.
