Guidance from management

Tamarack expects to maintain a strong net cash position while focusing on organic growth in Clearwater, with potential for CapEx adjustments to support higher growth rates.

What management said

Yes, Jamie, it's Steve here. On the royalty rates there, what we did is we ran an $80 budget go forward and then we actualized prices to date. So you see a little bit of the jump in the royalty rate just reflecting the higher budget prices moving forward. And that would be reflective with that net debt or net cash, sorry, position as well for the estimate that was provided in the guidance.

So my only closing remark, I just want to thank all the employees that worked the Charlie Lake asset and created just a ton of value, and it's just showing up here. It's been a great asset. I also want to acknowledge that in my years of working assets, I haven't worked an asset this prolific. And I think many around the table here would say the same thing. So I'm really looking forward to focusing on this asset here ...

What analysts pressed on

Analysts expressed concerns regarding the sustainability of cash flow and whether the company can effectively utilize its cash reserves for growth without overextending itself. There was also a question about the competitive landscape and future acquisition opportunities.
