I have no idea what is good, bad or indifferent and so I stay away from gold mining stocks.

You may see a result as "169m -18m @ 3.4 g/t including 3m @ 11 g/t at 174m". Reasonably good result, but it's a loooong way down! If there are no results in the 169 metres of dirt on top, that's an awful lot of dirt to dig through.
