Here's a question. If and when we do get funds to drill . . . who is going to tell us where to place those drills. It is a crucial decision. And it takes a geologist- not a mining engineer- ie BG- to make that determination. And guess what- we've just let go our geologist- and not just any geologist- but the geologist who knows more about HM (and probably porphyry copper deposits in general) than just about anyone in the world. As announced in the NR 216- "Liberty Star Announces the resignation of Jim Briscoe from the Board of Directors". There is a statement that "he will continue work with Liberty Star (and other companies) as a geological consultant, as such needs arise in the future." Is that true? And who will decide? As shareholders, I think we need assurances that these decisions will be made properly and that efforts will actually be made to bring back JB to direct this process.
