Message: More Earthquakes

In the last couple of weeks there were a few more earthquakes NE of Tombstone/Wilcox. I didn't think these few worth a mention, but there have been 4 more in the last 10 or so hours, and measuring 2.8 to 3.6 R. This, I think, is enought to qualify these as an earthquake "storm".

This may not have any bearing on LBSR activities for now, but it is interesting, being a rare event for Arizona. Interestingly, a very long lived earthquake storm in Oklahoma has by some been blamed on fracking, though this has not happened in other states. Could anyone be fracking near Clifton, AZ? I don't think so.
