RE: discoveriesI believe that KXL's discovery this fall is a pretty fresh find.
Noront's 'glory hole' from Windfall Lake was one of many good intercepts that had already occurred (albeit not with the 1000+ g/t grade but some high grades nonetheless). The Windfall property had not yet, however, had a resource delineated and still doesn't because they have yet to figure out the nature of the deposit. So, yes, it was a bit of a fresh find, but it wasn't completely out of the blue like, say, McFaulds.
I should know this as I hold KXL, but I'm quite certain that the Beardsmore discover is brand spanking new (although there was previous gold mining to the south of the discovery area).
