I can't tell you what to do with your money. But I might suggest you have a read up on the 'Lassonde curve'. I'd also suggest scouring the internet for educational content as there is good quality learning to be had for free. A good starting point I would suggest is to watch an interview or two with Rick Rule, he talks in a concise and simple way about the mining and exploration space.
I hope this might give you a bit of direction, All the best
