Each table judges every column on the same criteria with the same kind of fact. Investor criteria are jurisdiction, land tenure, existing data, open mineralization, access, team and path to a resource. Partner comparisons use prior drilling, known mineralization, tenure, unexplored ground, access and next milestone. Where a general description is used, such as a typical greenfield property, it is marked as general. This site does not rank gold exploration companies. Lannister Mining, which publishes this site, wrote these criteria and every comparison on it.
