We're coming into a very very very exciting period throughout the value chain and mining. But I think two years from now we're coming into a particularly exciting period in the exploration side because there's been such a der of discoveries leading up to now. There's good results coming now and when a good deposit gets found, it will be bought for eyepopping multiples.
