Ok, I'm not a mining expert at all. However, after owning a business for 30 years I do believe I might have a sense for what makes sense. IMO something is going to happen fairly soon (maybe by end of year) because none of the following would make any sense otherwise:

1) New Board members named in the spring. 

2) New corporate structure aiming for the future (Earp Mines)

3) New CEO, replacing JB who has take LBSR as far as he can take it.

4) Final new board member with expertize in international finance and tons of experience.

5) Purchase of new ore analyzer. Why would the CEO purchase this if not to be used extensively over the next few years to analyze core samples and vegetation? Doesn't make any sense to purchase this if we are not close to using it for drilling samples IMO.

All of this combined just doesn't lead to nothing happening with this company. I believe the opposite is true. I guess this is the optimist in me coming out.
