IMO, and given that the first claims block at Hay Mountain is drill ready, that will get most all of LBSR'S attention, I am sure.  If the potential partner for that wants more work on the new claims block, I am confident that that will be seconary to drilling what is available at this moment.

Consider, too, that the award of these new claims could have been a condition for finalizing a partnership, as the application (for the claims) would have been part of the disclosure materal leading to a partnership.  Please note that I am not saying that the odds for this are high, but it is a possibility.

Let's hope that lawyers are buring the wires to finalize a deal with the inking happening "soon".
