A lot go thru several cycles of promotion, drilling development, stasis, then redevelopment. A few might make it after revisiting. You could add two decades to whatever it takes in the modern cycle. I know some, such as Bralorne, and Discovery, that may make it and which have already been in the pipeline for 5-10 years.
There is one in North Western Ontario, not yet public that may short circuit to a 3 year horizon. More likely 4 to 5. You will hear about it in perhaps 6 months time. Sort of like a Sandspring north. IMHO.
Too bad we could not get some investors who knew what Shinola smells like to get behind these ideas. ~sigh~
