Destructive external (elements) are behind these verbal assults, these critics in the end fizzel out ususally in a whimpie cowardly fashion. That said I am their enemy! In the TWEEN time they can cause lots of corrosion and wear and tare on the vehicle, by elements, not AU,CU, or AG!  Do not focus on the naysayers for they are the lost and are like swimmers that perish, they want to take sombody down with them as revenge for their own ignorance. 

  So look up the ROAD just as JB&BOD are doing!  Progress is success and the BIGGER picture here is that obviously the WORLD/CHICKENs are coming back to their ROOTs to rebuild their nests.  Mining in AZ and it couldnt be any sweeter.  OH and by the way from the script mentioned by JB, well "READ and HEED"  when a company programs a "PAY as you GO" mining project it leaves the greater value of the Mining company in the hands of Shareholders as well not borrowing money keeps the CASH in HOUSE.  That is a big picture however c be lo:

The Gunnison Copper Project, about 30 miles to the north of Hay Mountain (See map) plans to operate a staged production model allowing future development to be funded from earned cash flow: a model that might  be pursued by Liberty Star at Hay Mountain assuming proper metallurgical conditions

Should JB&BOD have the good graces to succed in this planning, it will greatly BRIGHTEN the pps and future endeavors of LBSR.  Our CEO has the habit of following thru on planning stages habitually so expect the same coming from CEO JB&BOD!  Opptimisim reigns supreme here by SOVEREIGN'ty for LBSR!
