A quick google search for the " Lassonde Curve" led me to this Eric Hommelberg article'. See the curve...about half way down the article.

I seem to recall that Lassonde's curve duplicates this one, in so far as it demonstrates how, in general, an explorers' share price might have its steepest rise during the discovery stage to development. JP used to point out how Minefinders' share price followed this curve quite well, and then, especially took a beating once it decided to go it alone into production.

I wonder how Webb fits Tyhee into this postulate?
