<the efforts of the explorers that look for gold.>

Yes, and the merits or distinguishing abilities of the explorers can make all the difference. During Van Eeden's workshop, he mentioned that he invests in junior mining companies because the industry lacks resources (properties, equipment, and people). He emphasized that good explorers/people are lacking and to him the most important reason to buy into a mining company are the people behind it. I know that this knowledge is common sense and applies to any business but very much so to the junior mining industry.
