Ideally, this will make lots of electronics products, powerful magnets, etc., much less expensive. We'll see.

Interesting indeed, but beware.
The exploration companies are entering the phase of "attracting investors" where it is to their advantage to round up. A little. Sometimes.

I guess that makes sense. But when I see a story like this, my feeling is that if they've already found all this, then it is too late to invest. The time to invest was before the big discovery. Right? Or maybe I just don't understand investing. From my perspective, the key to effective investing is time travel.

In general it's a good idea to avoid gold mining stocks where the primary asset is an unexplored deposit. Investors can be left holding the bag. Not necessarily an equivalent scenario but caveat emptor, just sayin'
