JB & Co. has every incentive to make deals that are favorable to them and maximize true possible value to shareholders. They are shareholders and creditors, too. Deals with exploratory companies like LBSR are still extremely rare and it is unrealistic to imply otherwise. Some confuse small ready-to-go mining Jr.s with exploratories. Hay Mtn nor Silver Bell are backyard operations. Investors and purchasing mining companies move slow, regretfully. I am encouraged with the revealing results currently communicated from HQ. Timing, schedule and terms will greatly influence future pps, so I must be patient a little while longer. In the short run things seem dead or impossible. But in the long run, most things are do-able. Thanks, JB!
