I know that I am very much the novice, freely admit that most of the geology speak flies well over my head, so I tend to just lurk in the background here. I often see the lifecycle of mining development gif floating around in presentations. When I see this gif, that in my mind seems to a apply to a single site, from exploration to the beginning of mining stage. I often think to myself do these same stages truely fully apply to DRE with numerous exploration sites in different stages of exploration, joint venture partners and open statements to sell off the finds to big brother(s) rather than mine the discoveries as a company? https://www.google.com/search?q=stages+of+mining+development&rlz=1C9BKJA_enAU894AU895&hl=en-GB&prmd=invx&sxsrf=AOaemvLCOykTI4ExRnRSlFK9t-zqwdwK-w:1638570019340&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjzyMT_1Mj0AhVcTWwGHahVDLgQ_AUoAXoECAIQAQ&biw=1080&bih=695&dpr=2#imgrc=WWRAfFZ2zmyAAM
