I've been giving serious attention to this metal for a few years after reading about the world-changing potential in Vanadium Redox Batteries (VRB, aka VFB for vanadium flow battery, or VRFB). Back then I also checked mining activity and history in Cochise County (where Hay Mountain is located) and found that there were numbers of vanadium workings there in times past.
Given the recent price history, and the news cited above, we will all be hearing much more about this metal in the years ahead. And I have no doubt JB has LBSR in mind as this story expands, whether or not Hay Mountain can participate.
