I agree with you here. It would help to have more ounces however the bottom line is to make them as economical as possible to mine. They have demostrated that they come under the average for mining gold. As they have already committed to going to production, switching back to exploration would not be a wise move in the investors interest at this time. Time to get cash flow and prevent shareholder dilution and start rewarding investors. After they have some cash then the exploration can start again.
