Watching board members, who have already invested a substantial amount of money (or, for Jim, forgone hundreds of thousands of dollars in wages), double-down like this is inspiring.

In my opinion, the only people who would do this would be those that are convinced that Hay Mountain represents a once-in-a-lifetime asset.

Also, seeing directors step-up like this to fund the company has got to send a message to any third parties interested in LBSR's claims (and with whom LBSR may be in discussions) that waiting LBSR out for such claims just became a much more remote possibility.

Time for these other parties to realize that, one way or another, Hay Mountain will move forward and they can either get in at the low or on the way up!
