Wow, indeed! Also noted is the civil discord and riots going on in Thailand at the moment. Hope there is no connection. Like your theory, Cornergrinders, about the possibility of Bangchak preparing for a more active role with Thacker Pass, but if that were true then why the resignation of their rep from the BOD of LAC? I can't jive those two separate situations in my mind. Anyone else have a theory about this development? Thanks for posting this development. Okiedl
