"Your making it sound like we are somehow more noble than everyone else"
Actually Carry, from what I've learned about the majority of individuals involved in this type of business and the fact that over 90% of junior explorco's never make it to becoming a mine (the percentage could actually be higher) you better be darn sure that the team you have invested in are a noble group, because this industry has a reputation of being loaded with crooks.
