Thinking about the new Officers and BOD news one has to ask why? Why did JB give up his control of Liberty Star? Liberty Star Has been HIS company for many years. I've only been around since 2011, but Alaska's Big Chunk and Arizona's Hay Mountain Project have been overseen and developed by JB. So why give up control of the company? Could it be the new BOD's required some kind of succession plan for LBSR in the event something happening to JB (age)? Could it be a (soon to be named)partnership agreement required the same? Could it be a new partnership is ready to be signed and JB knows this is the structure needed to take Liberty to the next level? Bottom line is his legacy, both professionally and financially,  are tied to Liberty and it's success or failure. It just defies logic that he would just turn this over to someone else without some type of idea of a positive outcome. Time will answer these questions....sooner or later.
