"Sorry to offend anyone thats just the way I see it."

How can anyone take offense at a simple fact?  Another fact is that between the US and Canada, it is said that only one in a thousand explorers make any money for retail shareholders.  This mean that the average retail shareholder is probably foolish for putting money at risk is such stocks, worse odds than those of the lowest paying games at a casino.

However, when there is a payoff, it can be spectacular, ala Diamond Fields Resouces from 50 cents to $176.50 in three years (from discovery to the sale of the company).

Among those explorer's who make money for shareholders, from inception it can take years-to-decades of exploring before drilling confirms discorvery.

That's where we are, so call it failure if you wish, at least to this point in time.
