A strong cash balance supports ongoing activities for several years, even though earnings have experienced a downward trend. The firm operates without any debt, and there exists a noted observation regarding the board’s depth of experience.

Mineral Exploration and Surveying Services
Venus Metals Corporation Limited (ASX:VMC) conducts exploration across mineral tenements in Western Australia. This enterprise has reached a stage of profitability and has successfully eliminated its borrowings over recent years.
