I had private e-mail exchanges with management here. They are allowing what they formerly considered off topic posts - things related to mining and economics but perhaps not DIRECTLY related to LBSR. They claimed to have had some kind of contentious situation going on, though I never saw such on this board, ...and limiting the kinds of posts, they said, was the only way to get control of that situation. As that situation ended, whatever it was, wherever it was, they decided to allow postings of related matters, kind'a like things were before they began removing numbers of posts seemingly without reason. I don't believe their story, but this is their business, not mine, and it's paid for by others, so users here a sucking hind tit compared to owers and clients.

As to 8 million from Tangier's, those funds are only avaiable in increments none of which would be large enough to pay operating expenses AND drilling in the short term. Better to find a partner, and look for share conversions at higher price than down at these levels, right?

By the way, trends suggest futher worldwide currency depreciation, so higher prices for real assests are almost assured for the next few years. Having said that, I would not want to be holding real estate when the debt pyramid fails.
