Quiet, we are told to be quiet, shhhhh! Kidding! The imagination flys like a flock of Monarchs twisting and turning in my minds eye. Only my supposition here but 1999 was the Year for Hay Mountain with Phelps Dodge and today begs the question. OK so Phelps Dodge dodged the HM project then, would a new entrant be just as concerned today as the Financial sector is shunning the Mining sector today? Aside that PD was looking at a merger and was outflanked nevertheless by falling price of copper to below a dollar so PD dropped the HM project. Of course finances has been the ROTTEN egg all along, is it the fly in the ointment even today, looking at droping copper prices. Lastly the fault of that type of short term "prudence" is that the demand for copper is far lagging behind and mine to supply is drastically falling behind. Will copper prices rebound in the mayhem of sourcing the mkt for copper supply?

So does that lift our hopes for LBSR enough to make us utterly optomistic or just feel optomistic? The question is basically the only issue, Phase1) at the moment. How long is this moment going to last and will the ending of the silent term justify the euphoric optomisim we do hope to expect. Lastly will the expectation that copper regain its price levels be enough to stir interest needed to ignite a fire for the Financial sector to return to the mining consortiou. Perhaps the crowd attending the Toranto PDAC this March 2016 can shed more lite into this very dark sector.
