You are correct! To expound a bit on your point:

JB's recent trip sends out the message that one way or another...LBSR will move forward with drilling and ultimately a JV! In spite of waning share price and a seemingly lack of interest, LBSR's comings and going are watched very closely! (Hence JB keeping his hand covered) LBSR moving forward is closer to actuality, and I think the companines who are newly inquiring, including out of the blue uranium....don't want to see LBSR get away from them. IMO
