The Agora interview with Jim Briscoe

JB is relating an interesting collection of facts and interpretations, and putting them in historical perspective. This interview is worth hearing.

When listening, try this:

1) Assume that Jim Briscoe is an honest and competent geologist.
2) Listen as if you have never before heard of Jim Briscoe or Liberty Star.
3) Forget the stream of negativity found on the other board.
4) Listen with interest and concentration.
5) Think about the implications of what's being said.
6) Take a look at LBSR's mkt cap.
7) Ask yourself if drilling money might be found.

Personally, if I knew someone that liked this kind of speculation I would tell them to consider this one. The pattern Jim is seeing rings true to me.

Significant risk, enormous possible reward if JB turns out to be right in his guess that Hay Mountain is on top of a large intrusion that has mineralized limestone beds, and that there is a layer of oxidized ore on top of the much larger sulfide ore. I like this guess, although the outcome is anything but certain.

In the interview we learn something of JB's practical teachers, Kenyon Richard and Harold Courtright. See the National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum, where a search found this:
