How can prospecting and extraction be both simultaneously unprofitable and also creating incredibly wealthy heiresses? If resource extraction and profit-sharing in Australia is most closely compared to that of African nations, it doesn't seem like the public is benefiting much from allowing their natural resources to be appropriated and sold by multinationals.

Not agreeing with OP, but playing the lottery can be both unprofitable, and create a few rich people.
