The one chart posted before hinted at one aspect of that... by showing an addition in the form of a dashed line to a "buyout" occurring at the initial peak following announcement of the extent of a major discovery... Of course, there are many other similar things that might occur that would tend to drive deviations from that generic representation of performance based on a "stand alone" focused only on "exploration issues." So, in addition to a chart showing what happens in the case of a buyout, you could also create a similar chart showing how things do tend to work, generically, in those companies that succeed in transitioning from being widely under appreciated pinkies, to being well regarded issues listed on major exchanges... You could create a similar chart showing how private companies will tend to perform as they transition from being privately held issues or internally held subsidiaries, that are being supported and matured through investments that are made though private placements or through the sponsorship of their corporate parents... to being stand alone entities in their own right, that are being launched into public markets as stand alone issues, through spin outs and IPO events... SRSR clearly requires something of a synthesis between the purely "geology focused" analysis of patterns that apply generically in exploration, and the more organizationally focused efforts in development...
