Abstract
In the classic dilemma from The Matrix, taking the red pill reveals an unsettling truth, much like the revelation that most junior mineral exploration companies are destined to fail under the current model. This presentation challenges the industry to ‘take the red pill’ and awaken to the need for a radical shift from chasing short-term gains to adopt a more diversified and realistic approach. By breaking the incumbent business model and redefining what constitutes a viable and valuable project, we pave the way for sustainable practices that not only improve success rates but also align with broader economic and environmental goals.
