Due to highly volatile metal prices and quiet markets, 2013 was a tough year for many junior mineral exploration companies. These companies rely on investors to stay in business, and intuitively, the most appealing projects to investors are those which are low-cost with high potential for profit. For road inaccessible exploration projects, helicopter time can account for more than 1/3 of an exploration company’s budget. In addition, properties whose resource value is significantly greater than the development costs are perhaps more appealing as a long term investment as proximity to infrastructure and roads can make or break a development proposal.
