In short: A "weak 6" — Mount Todd is big but very hard, low-grade rock that's resisted financing for years, with no exploration upside left ("what you see is what you get").

In plain English

Vista's main asset, Mount Todd in Australia, is a large gold deposit — but the rock is extremely hard and relatively low-grade, which makes it expensive and difficult to mine. Rule (who helped buy it decades ago) is skeptical: the team has spent years unable to line up financing to build it, and extra exploration hasn't made the deposit any bigger, so "what you see is what you get." A "weak 6" — no hidden upside to bail it out.

17:15What's your thoughts on Vista? — I have Vista as a week six. Um, Vista has a big deposit, Mount Todd. Uh, I know it well. I helped buy it for Vista back in the Paleolithic a long time ago. Uh, it works at this gold price, but it's not going to be easy and it's not going to be cheap. Very hard rock, reasonably low grade, pretty good metal energy, but the work index on the rock is massive.
