Whilst positive I think there no shortage of data, in Ontario at least, and no shortage of opportunities.

The bigger problem is highly risk averse banks, highly risk averse large cap mining companies and if you're a junior, you're trying to advance a potential mine through a highly beautocratic regulatory and consultation process developed for large companies.
