TMBXF is up 18 percent on the day, at least at the moment, and this after having been in the red earlier. It's now at 5.3 cents and trading volume is similar to that of LBSR, though they have damatically fewer shares outstanding.

Again, I can't see this issue advancing without having some arrangement with LBSR. The claims are almost on top of each other. Further, LBSR has 10 targets to TMBXFs 2 or 3, and I think the exploration technicals are far superior at Hay Mountain.

So, let me repeat: LBSRs PPS can not continue declining while TMBXF rises - makes no sense. While I think LBSR could advance field work without TMBXF, I don't think the opposite is true.

Obviously what's needed most at this point is news on drilling permits and/or financial arragements, and I hope that comes before the summer doldrums, which will soon be upon us.
