While we muse, JB & Co. have communicated before that LBSR does not intend to move forward with any phase until they have the funds to so commit for that phase. Surely the commitment of men, resources and equipment by the driller requires an equal commitment by LBSR in terms of scope to make it financially viable for the driller. Anything less seems like gambling.
I may wish for a speedier progress report, but.... patience wins the day.
