I think you can beat the venture by investing early through the exploration stage up to and including the PFS. From that point forwards through the BFS and eventual production the reward to risk ratio seems to work against the ordinary investor.

One thing I learned through this investment is to get out early no matter what the potential. It's not just this stock, it is the progression of all exploration projects through to production. It takes a long time and time is the enemy because all your other 'what if's' come into play.

Going forward I will find a good project and spend as little time as possible invested, and perhaps make a smaller profit then move onto the next one.
