Bad stuff happens- this stock recession scenario is but one more good example. It's among the  many reasons why there is not unlimited time to wait to begin drilling. Drilling needs to begin immediately, as soon as limited funds can be scraped together. If succesful, a good deal will follow. With no drilling, all we have at HM may not matter. If it all stays in the ground, it is all rendered moot. It has been said that  if preliminary limited drilling is unsuccessful, then all is lost. First, that is not necessarily so. And second, without any drilling, with possible interceding events, such as the above scenerio, some other unanticipated national event (Trump's brilliant tariff/trade war scheme suddenly beating down the POC- being an example of just such a nonhypothetical event that has already occurred), health issues, or simply becoming financially unviable- it may come to the point where it doesn't matter what we have in the ground and we may never have the opportunity to drill. With all that lovely copper either left in the ground forever- or recovered by someone other than LBSR.  . . . DRILL. Don't wait.  DRILL.
