Monitor for SEC effectiveness and pricing of the offering. If the NYSE American listing is achieved, it could provide liquidity and visibility, but the company remains pre-revenue with no proven reserves. The automatic conversion of ~$16.6M in convertible notes will eliminate a large debt overhang but add ~3M shares of dilution. Watch for subsequent drilling results and DLE technology selection as key catalysts.
