RexRex,
You are quite right, it's almost all about economics. And the reason I say "almost all" is because I want to remind you that, even with much much lower grades,like those at Osisko (much lower that at the YGP), a very very large deposit, can amount to a bonanza-mine.
Just take a look at Osisko's numbers: Low grades, big deposit, economic and a whopper of a market cap.
