a couple of things to consider:

as I understand it, US claims were paid, state claims due NOV1.

Why would I pay claims if the results (even preliminary) were bad.

Would I wait until Nov 1 to stake more? (may depend who controls the land)

What circumstances would make LBSR retain SRK to do more work?

Considering the focus has been on Hay MT. What might LBSR be talking to the chineese about?

What changes are coming that we need to adjust company management?

Could it be the information we are being fed is telling us the results?
