Hay Mountain a blind target?  Yes, because until very recently the only evidence that there is buried treauser there came from geophysics alone.  This is not at all akin to those other exploration stories you've been reading about.  I'm willing to bet that in every one of those other cases there has been some surficial evidence of mineralization,  and some sort of sampling program(s).

At Hay Mountain, traces of mineralization have only very recently been found exposed in brecciated and marbelized cap rock, suggesting richer material at depth.  This means that drilling should remain the first priority as it will answer the questions about whether or not there are economic grades of mineralization at surface, near surface, AND at depth, allowing, perhaps, the later development of plans for different types of symultanious exploitation.
