I've been following this industry for decades and read many thousands of press releases.  During this time I've never read or heard of a "successful" site visit.  To me, this comes across as propaganda.  Even so, what is preventing these domestic companies from making offers?  It's not like LBSR can collect offers, put them aside, and then wait for others to select the best one out of a bunch.  It doesn't work that way.  Offers have to be disclosed to the public as they are received.  At least that's what SEC demands, though I suspect BG plays by his own rules.
