RE:RE:LASSONDE CURVE - UPWARD FROM HERE It is a very interesting curve but I would not take it to mean that it would apply in every situation or with every junior miner that goes into production. It is meant as a general guide as to what may happen in the life cycle of a developing junior explorer but much of it depends on how it grows once in production. If the junior's developement plan is to expand its production profile in subsequent years then I don't see how its sp would not grow as it expands production like with DSVs plans to expand its production after 4 years. Or if they grow its resources with further exploration during production. Furthermore, this curve would not apply imho if the company becomes a takeover target of another Major. DSV imho could very well become a takeover target before it ever reaches production!
