Thanks !
The more we see improvements in energy storage, the better for ERC-MFRC IMHO.
Is the future in fossil fuel, or something else? Just wondering...
Thanks...
EcoMike had one answer. Another is that those with mucho shares and no long term vision are rebalancing their portfolio (not me!). It is not always meant to be deceptive, but such sellers know that huge quantities of shares sitting out there all at once discourages the buyers.
As better new piles up, the sellers will be less and have confidence of a great future. GLTU

Eco may respond. It has been this way through most of the past two years, in most tech stocks of any note. The interest is in the major corporations who want to make use of the ERC/Fuel Cell opportunities and do not broadcast it until they are up and running. The leaders of these organizations invest in themselves first, then consider an MVTG investment. Consider Ballard or FCEL or others who have no real profit in this area yet may have over invested on the "sell" of the idea. Larry & Co. have not hyped the news... just let it sell itself and in time it will.

I did email him and pointed out the nonsense of CCS as well as the sense of MVTG+Alstom... :)
Good to see you posting more, KY.
Ah, the little games people play with the pps. Some here benefited. Good...
Charades... :)
Thanks for reminding us. Nice that ERC under construction does not have the major issues that other methods have and at 30% of the cost !!
Good DD here... :)
Global pollution however is not an arguable issue. It exists, and those of us who travel, know so. We need ERC, etc. !
It will issue dividends, all in good time after certain onerous liabilities are addressed.
Looks like shorties are active yet. How quick some forget all of the good trends here...
If nothing else, it signals to me that it is tech implementation and $ time...

Mantra Announces Continued Expansion of Research Team
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug 18, 2014) - Mantra Venture Group Ltd. (OTCQB:MVTG) and its subsidiary, Mantra Energy Alternatives, have announced the addition of two new personnel to its team. Drs. Ashwin Usgaocar and Christina Gyenge have joined Mantra in its new facilities in Vancouver.
Dr. Ashwin Usgaocar (Ph.D.) is a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Professor John Madden at the University of British Columbia (UBC). He has joined the Mantra team supported by a Mitacs grant designed to bridge the gap between academia and industry. Dr. Usgaocar's research experience is well suited to Mantra's work, and includes the fabrication and characterization of lithium-ion battery electrodes, the development of electrodeposited Schottky barrier hydrogen sensors, and the initiation of a project on innovative photogalvanic solar cell designs. He is also a talented software developer, and has worked for three years as a software engineer leading projects such as the development of a SIM application toolkit for Fortuna Technologies Ltd. At Mantra, Dr. Usgaocar will be working on advanced electrode fabrication.
Since receiving her Ph.D. from UBC in 2000, Dr. Christina Gyenge has worked extensively in chemical and biological engineering. This experience includes postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Bergen and Stanford University and a position as a research associate at Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials. In 2009 she returned to UBC as a teaching faculty, in which capacity she developed and delivered numerous courses such as Energy Engineering. Dr. Gyenge combines an interdisciplinary and innovative background with a broad overview and vision related to the practical applications of alternative energy technologies and novel chemical technologies in general.
"I am excited to join Mantra Energy Alternatives, a company that is developing unique and innovative solutions to some of the most challenging problems of the 21(st) century; namely, mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and sustainable energy conversion," said Dr. Gyenge. "I am happy to be part of a dynamic team that strives to create a paradigm shift in the manner with which we address future energy needs, through leading edge chemical and electrochemical technologies."
Dr. Gyenge will join Mantra in the role of VP of Technology, Marketing and Innovation. She will be focused on the positioning of Mantra's technologies in the market and the strategic expansion of the company's technology portfolio.
Said Patrick Dodd, Mantra's VP of Corporate Development, "The addition of Ashwin and Christina, two highly talented engineers, reflects on Mantra's success in attracting the crucial skill sets that will propel the company to the next stage."
About Mantra Venture Group
Mantra Venture Group Ltd. (OTCQB:MVTG) is a clean technology incubator that takes innovative emerging technologies and moves them towards commercialization. The Company, through its subsidiary Mantra Energy Alternatives, is currently developing two groundbreaking electrochemical technologies designed to make reducing greenhouse gas emissions profitable, ERC (Electro-Reduction of Carbon Dioxide) and MRFC (Mixed-Reactant Fuel Cell).
ERCis a form of "carbon capture and utilization" (CCU) that converts the polluting greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into useful, valuable products including formic acid and formate salts. By utilizing clean electricity, the process offers the potential for an industrial plant to reduce emissions while generating a salable product and a profit.
The MRFC is an unconventional fuel cell that uses a mixture of fuel and oxidant, thereby greatly reducing the complexity and cost of the fuel cell system. Ideal for portable applications, the MRFC is cheaper, lighter, and more compact than conventional fuel cell technologies.

More than pirates, we are merchants on the high seas !
With all the progressive news here, I sleep well at night with LBSR and JB.
6+ years
How goes it with you, big guy? Hope you are mended... just like MVTG. Thanks for being here !
Nice... I wish this preliminary report would have detailed the associated time to make efficient, patent, energy, cost, feasibility, etc. along with the next idea of sliced bread.
Keep going with that right track thinking. The DD posted here by EcoMike and others is dy-no-mite! MVTG & partners are way ahead of this and more good to come from the research. As you read, the answers will come... and wondering how many applications this can be adapted to quickly.
Licensing is the plan way back. :)
Is this the best answer to CO2 ??? (below) - Not for me !

At least the last six years have been a desert for Jr Mining JV's and financing. There was nothing to be had but less than desirable help. It kept LBSR alive, much to my dismay then, much to my joy now. Patience will reward us all. :)
After all this year's progress, who would so sell unless short sided. I prefer investors, not traders, here. Sell down when there is light coming our way ??? Smart?
Some complain when there is no news or communication. Then they complain because timely PR's do not move us fast enough. A battleship (in our future) does not turn on a dime.
I remember so often here the step by step progress items that was welcome and nicely surprised us in the past just when we thought there was nothing going on....
The executed plan requires several players and levels of funding. I am pleased the LBSR board is addressing all of these now...
:) 6+ years...
All in good time and good order... this is a long term black beauty
Some skilled labor cost in the USA is significant, but given the recession is now often less than many parts of the world. Much of the drilling and mining is technical equipment oriented, and the US has the people on hand to do it. It is the overall total cost that matters, and given the political uneasiness in the rest of the world, Arizona shines bright 12 months of the year work time and no loss of repatriation. :) JMHO
Best to ask HQ after reading the last 10 NR's :)
Nice to see you back in rare form. We missed you and glad you are on the mend! ERC still strong... :)
I vote yes to soon good news... :)
Good reminder! :)
Good points follow up, you two ! :)
EcoMike - may you recover to full ERC strength...
Well said ! :) We play it cool...
Why not ask HQ directly? They have this all handled... :)
The last NR clearly explained that situation. All is good.
"Dive, dive..." -- as funny as a screen door in submarine.
Hats off to JB :)
Thanks for keeping us smiling! :)
In this kind of industry, every investor ought to know the business of the company they invest in. Do you not?
Upon minimal DD, one would not make statements like "it is losing money" and "they have no revenues" ... so it is about to fold ???
I would certainly honor valuable questions like...
"I am new here. How does this company survive all these years with no apparent revenue. And more importantly, what are the signposts of its near-term upward prospects?"
6+ years communicating with HQ and JB.
As pointed out by Leif and others, you do not understand this sector.
There is no significant revenue to get at this stage in the mining juniors. Courting investors for the next big round is the focus which has nicely started. The resource value is strongly indicated. Small segments of financing have gone on for years and LBSR has survived. It would be wiser for you to post only after reading the years of posts here, and pondering the DD already listed on this website as well as on the LBSR website.
Please, no more insulting our intelligence.
6+ years faithful.
And you think no one else has known this for the years we were here? Please, no more insults...
Irrelevant at this stage as any good investor knows.
Huh? The stock pps has been below .01 before with no change in status. The market officials do consider the length of time critical.
Why all nervous nelly attitude all of a sudden? It will be what it is... until the good news hits. I get so tired of this time after time. Those who are so scared should reinvest elsewhere.. LBSR is risk adjusted.
After six years and all the progress this will move forward at the right time. Let's concentrate on the DD of valid evidence.
Thanks to all who do useful DD here with a smile... :).

After you, I want to be the 2nd person to get an Official MVTG MRFC fuel cell powered vehicle. Good moves, Larry!
