"Someone please explain why LBSR spent $$$ on a trip for 2 to Manila, versus setting up a booth in Toronto to explain to the heavy hitters in the mining business..."
What a bunch of ignorant and biased crap!
PDAC is Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada, CANADA! LBSR is not incorporated in Canada, JB is not Canadian, nor do I believe are any members of the BOD, nor other insiders. Moreover LBSR has no claims in Canada, so why would they bother to become members of PDAC, assuming they would be allowed membership sans some Canadian interests.
I would have put up this response on that other board, but I am limited to one post per day there, and it's already been used. Anyone here is welcome to copy this reply and put it up there, though it will probably be deleted. To increase the odds it stays there, don't mention my alias.

I've been around mining and public message boards on mining and economic s for a very long time. Never have I seen such a promising explorer as this, nor with such a bunch of uneducated bashers trashing it, and with so much vigor. It's more than curious to me that they chose to do so on a message board that was founded as a criminal enterprise.
