RE:RE:RE:Artemis"Personally I'd rather have a deposit like IAU or even what Brixton has started to find because much higher grades means a hell of a lot less rock to move. Playing through 20 to 25 tons of rock to get one Oz is a lot of wear and tear on machinery."
Blackwater Average Strip Ratio: 2.01 for life of mine (22 years).

I agree that early exploration-stage companies can also shoot up in price on impressive assay results (Lassonde Curve Stage 1). However, because there's much higher risk involved vs. a company entering Stage 4 of the Curve like ARTG, I insist on seeing at least one really big metal factor (gxm) drill hit (four-digits) before even considering such a company.
