PROSPECT GENERATOR MODEL
A junior resource company employing a Prospect Generator (PG) business
model does just what the name suggests---generates prospects. Companies
successfully operating under this model are typically leveraging an intellectual
advantage that allows them to bring in better-funded partners to take on the
high cost and inherent risk of exploration. Shareholders are exposed to more
discovery chances when the PG company tests numerous prospective targets
with partner funding. Using partner money to fund exploration and growth
allows the PG company to conserve capital, reduce shareholder dilution and
extend the life of the company.
