also imo the past is no absolute predictor of the future especially when it comes to exploration. this is not to be taken as a positive or a negative. it's just the way it goes.
during the alliance/quasar jv quasar was also exploring in western australia with mindax limited.
nothing of significance was discovered in western australia by the quasar/mindax jv.
no explorer wins all the time but every explorer has a chance of making a discovery.
