The strike is, atleast temporarily, good for LBSR. Supply and demand,with less being on the market. Yet the bigger problem is the tarrifs with China, who obviously, at this time, has the biggest need for copper. They will likely to go to cheapest bidder, or atleast someone with good quality at a competitive price. Which, with the current trade war, is not America. I think they may be a bg factor in whats going on with Hay Mountain. No, China is not the only consumer of copper but, lets face it, as their economy goes: so goes copper. At this time anyway. Things change and other nations will began to develop and consume copper as well, its just a matter of time. Its how the world has always worked, we all have our turn.
