Anything todo with Permits, State or Federal i almost always see delays. These announcments, pending, as usual may be defered from an expected due date. These delays who knows 1 or 2 months for permitting. Logic should tell us that the delay can be welcomed as long as the interium time is well spent tunning up on the sites to be drilled. Most all of the interum times have been well utilazed by LBSR from their history, so the time wont be wasted. The biggest question is how much capital will we have to advance the coreing process, to what extent can the drilling program be expanded and perhaps that too is in the mix as to why we are still quiet (?). Rest assured i am greatly anticipating the end of the quiet term and with GLEE watching for the kickoff off of Phase 1 with money permits and the NR to announce same. However, agin this is all a process of doing and waiting, maybe not patiently but waiting nevertheless! Lets just keep it at HAPPY NEW YEAR for now, day by day!
