Money in hand? Don't know where that foolishness came from, but IMO such a revelation is not very likely to be heard/read today. If it was going to be announced, it would have been before the market opened this morning. As it is, a halt in trading would have to happen first. Halts cost money, and need to be avoided by companies so very short on cash as is LBSR.
Therefore, no news on drilling today, and by my guess, not within the next few days either.
Having said these things, I will be happy to be proven wrong.
