'Plus: "Zinke had previously announced that no changes would be made at six national monuments — in Montana, Colorado, Idaho, California, Arizona and Washington. He also said that Bears Ears monument in Utah should be downsized."'

I could be wrong, but I understood "no changes" to mean in regards to the size only.

"Perhaps AZ will be affected not by a shrinkage of the area, but in permitting use such as mining within the monument, which would be good enough for LBSR's purposes. Here's hoping."

That is exactly my thinking, at least in regards to existing claims, not new ones.

Thanks, Willy.
