This is so disturbing- it's hard to know where to begin. 

""We have several entities, 8 right now, that we are actively engaged with; all non-US entities remain subject to travel restrictions and are therefore unable to visit Hay Mountain until those restrictions are lifted.

 Field Ops Manager Jay Crawford and Brett hosted CA USA based visitors, including geoscientific staff, . . ."

There is no breakdown of US and non US firms- and so we don't really know how many are frozen- and therefore essentially useless for the time being. That is- assuming the field trip is really a prerequisite to concluding a deal. I'm not sure I understand why that should be in this day and age. But if it is- since no one has any idea when these travel restrictions will be lifted- these entities are essentially nonstarters at this time- and probably aren't even worth listing. So how many does that leave? Strenuous efforts need be taken to secure US interested parties that wouldn't have such impediments. Is this being done? And if so- how vigorously?  Or- are we simply sitting back and still waiting indefinitely for such foreign companies as "Prospect One"- on the swooning and faint hope that they will have a change of heart and eventually make a grand deal. 

As for the Ca company- we don't know if that is the one and only entitiy that is US based and thus unimpeded. Its representatives were apparently feted by Jay and BG. Now, my understanding is that Jay is a very nice fellow, bright and well trained in what he does- but essentially a technician- and not a geologist. And Brett- well Brett is Brett- who- reportedly doesn't exactly set the world on fire as a salesman- and who is also untrained as a geologist. I wonder how this was viewed by the visiting "geoscientific staff". If this is our "A" team . . . well- it's no wonder there are no signatures on the dotted line. If the visit was more than a proforma viewing of the scrub land, including a detailed and persuasive geological presentation- involving more and richer  data and information than that provided in the available written materials- who was qualified to present and provide this additional information and be able to answer questions?

And I also hope the primary HM deposits are not being given short shrift over the recent infatuation with the latest darling- Red Rock Canyon.

Beyond the fact that there is at least someone  showing some interest in Liberty Star- not very reassuring- IMHO.
