I was watching this company from around the time of the staking of Big Chunk in AK.  I got more seriously interested when the North Pipe project was announced.  In doing my DD, I found that that area was under severe attacks by the anti-mining crowd who didn't want any new mining near the Grand Canyon.  I wrote Tracy then asking what the plan was for dealing with that situation and had no reply then either.  I would have saved myself a lot of grief by taking that as a clue not to buy LBSR.  However, I did not believe the US government would side with the anti-mining crown.  At the least, I thought some compromise could be achieved, so I bought the stock anyway (and added more up to the time drilling began at Big Chunk, holding 1-2 percent of the company in multiple accounts).

But we know how that turned out, so I will offer that a non-response from Tracy is meaningless other than suggesting she has no training or understanding of how to reply with a nonanswer when such is appropriate.

Eventually, I sold almost all of my stock before the RS because I grew to harbor bad feelings about BG, which is another story.  As I  mentioned earlier, I retained a small amount of shares, vowing to come back heavily with progress at Hay Mountain.  I started doing so with news about pending drilling and will continue doing so as news warrants.
