This isn't a slot machine, if you want instant profit or loss you're looking in the wrong place - perhaps investing isn't for you. I haven't seen any real evidence suggesting that the project is a complete failure, only armchair analysis from impatient people with no resource exploration and development experience. If you are really as concerned as you make out, get on the phone, develop a relationship with the company, go check out the projects and get a real sense of where your masses of money is going.
