Indeed, I've been following and reading Brent Cook for nearly as long as he has been a consultant. This is a significanly important contact for JB and company, because it will be so public (though I believe they are likely to have had contact by other means at other times).
Abd, these appearances increase the likelihood that BC will make favorable mention of LBSR in his newletter. If that happens, watch out!
As a reminder, the panel includes only one other exploration-phase miner.
