At $32 million/year, Wesdome's exploration program is the largest, as a fraction of revenues, amongst the 30 or so miners I track.
The results are evident, as we see today.
This is not to lessen the kick-a** job that Michael Michaud and his team are doing, nor the role of past generations of Wesdome leadership in acquiring the best claims in Ontario and Quebec. (And LOL in many cases buying off any royalties on them, back when it was cheap to do so!)
Methodical competent sweat-the-details business execution WORKS. And works better than flashy press releases, videos with Eric Sprott saying you MIGHT BE the next Swan Zone, etc..
