Apollo Gold ( (TSE:APGO) ) is experiencing volatility. Read on for a possible explanation for the stock’s unusual movement.
Apollo Gold shares came under pressure as local authorities in Mexico delayed a key decision on its Cinco de Mayo exploration project. A community in Chihuahua adjourned its first meeting on lifting a mineral exploration moratorium due to a lack of quorum, pushing the vote on long-term access into October and extending uncertainty around the project’s timeline.
While the latest setback weighs on near-term sentiment, Apollo Gold’s very low debt levels give it more breathing room to navigate delays and potential funding needs. However, the company still has no revenue and its losses and cash burn are worsening, meaning prolonged project holdups could force it to raise more capital and dilute existing shareholders if conditions do not improve.
