Resource development is the Industry term.

Very republican.

The equation is simple. Invest 2 billion in a resource development project to try and get an IRR of 25%. So you make $500M profit.

But the area of the development is the real winner with over 4 times that amount invested.

Given gold, nickel and diamond mines are so high grade and  small, this style of mining, particularly underground has a very small environmental footprint.

Large iron ore and coal mines have a larger footprint.
