> If the dividends of all mining companies were diverted into exploration & development

Dividends divert funds from capital investment (internal) to shareholders (external), not the other way around.
I remain under the impression the primary objective of gold mining companies should be gold mining.

> Some marketing is also needed in every business.

Marketing (IMHO) is a waste of money (more so than dividends) for commodity producers.
It belongs further down in the supply chain, paid for your local Zales.
