KIAWAH ISLAND — More than 650 households on Kiawah Island have pledged to stop using rodent poisons that are blamed for the decline of the town’s bobcat population.
Thirty pest control companies have also committed to becoming “bobcat guardians” and cease the use of the rodenticides on the island.

May 01, 2020 8:00am EDT
RESTON, Va., May 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lightbridge Corporation (NASDAQ: LTBR), an advanced nuclear fuel technology company, today announced that it has received a Decision to Grant from the Japan Patent Office (JPO) for Patent #2017-512054 related to a Lightbridge metallic fuel assembly design for use in CANDU-type reactors.
Seth Grae, President & Chief Executive Officer of Lightbridge Corporation, said: “This award protects and differentiates our unique intellectual property assets throughout the world and constitutes another significant milestone for Lightbridge. We have worked to expand our patent estate and will keep exploring opportunities in the CANDU fuel market.”
Lightbridge Signs Cooperative R&D Agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear (GAIN) Program

Current levels are very low imo considering the market cap of $6 million and their cash of $18.0 million at December 31, 2019.
At the current price and a market cap below $8 Million this company has lots potential imo even despite Corona.
Edited Transcript of LTBR earnings conference call or presentation 18-Mar-20
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/edited-transcript-ltbr-earnings-conference-055242288.html
Here are some notable excerpts.
• We ended fiscal year 2019 on a high note, poised to enter a new phase of our company's development with our first funding award from the U.S. Department of Energy, DOE, a voucher from DOE's Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear or GAIN program to support development of Lightbridge Fuel in collaboration with Idaho National Laboratory. … We believe that demonstrating excellent performance under the GAIN voucher will be helpful for our future grant applications.
• Based on our contract with Idaho National Laboratory and others, at this time, we do not foresee issues relating to COVID-19, coronavirus slowing or postponing the work relating to the GAIN voucher. Facilities at Idaho National Lab are spread out over about 900 square miles. So it's a relatively easy place for people to stay apart. People who need to work on computers and offices, we hope, can work at home.
• Everyone in our company can work from home, and we are prioritizing everyone's safety.
• We believe the timing couldn't be better for Lightbridge to benefit from this historic bipartisan support for nuclear energy from the federal government.
• Our balance sheet remains strong with a working capital surplus at December 31, 2019, of $18.1 million. … We are reducing our overhead spend for 2020. … Cash used in our operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2019, was approximately $6.7 million.
• (consulting project with a nuclear regulatory authority overseas that will bring in some revenue) This seems to be moving forward. We're waiting for the overseas authorities to start work with us.
• In the last several weeks, we've been working with the Idaho National Lab on the contract for the GAIN voucher work. And we expect to complete the contract and to begin work on the project in the coming weeks.
• In parallel with our efforts under the GAIN voucher, we expect to separately contract with INL and others for the HALEU material and fabrication of the sample coupons for the experiment.
How Long Is Lightbridge's Cash Runway?
A company's cash runway is the amount of time it would take to burn through its cash reserves at its current cash burn rate. When Lightbridge last reported its balance sheet in September 2019, it had zero debt and cash worth US$21m. Importantly, its cash burn was US$6.4m over the trailing twelve months. That means it had a cash runway of about 3.2 years as of September 2019. There's no doubt that this is a reassuringly long runway. Depicted below, you can see how its cash holdings have changed over time.

Lightbridge is doing pretty well in view of Corona. The previous low before Corona impacts hit the stock market was around $3.40 I believe. The cash is obviously much higher than the current market cap of $9 million.
Let's see what Seth Grae has to tell in tomorrow's conference call. If LTBR has a chance "to obtain compensation for the damage incurred" from Framatome then we might move up higher mid-term.

What is that no-good Seth Grae up to these days. He seems to be hiding from shareholders. No update whatsoever after the termination of the JV with Framatome.

We need some good news here. The general overall sentiment for nuclear is very positive as nuclear energy is CO2-free.
It is a waiting game until this stock will breakout. We are getting closer day by day imo...
Thanks, very interesting article indeed. In particular the following statements sound very promising.
"Now it’s time to get something built—and we need to do it with a sense of urgency!"
"This sends a strong message that the Department of Energy (DOE) is all in on new nuclear."

Good news today imo. I am confident that we have seen the bottom. CU at plus $10 in the first quarter of next year
Interview from September with Seth Grae
It is a few month old but nevertheless quite interesting.
Based on the interview I believe we may learn more in the coming weeks regarding the possible cooperation with US Government subsidiaries. If that works out, the share price will go uphill significantly in my opinion.
Discussion with Seth Grae | Lightbridge Corp. 06 December 2019
Bought some shares again. The current cash is way above the current market cap.
Seth Grae earns 1 million dollars per year according to yahoo finance but he can't prepare a pr overnight to explain the matter. I suppose he does not know how to spin this yet...
Close the company, distribute the cash among shareholders and sell the ip and patents. Would equal maybe 7-8 Bucks a share.
"We know we haven't had a lot of news for you lately... We are working very hard to turn that around for you."
That dude gotta be kidding...
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/lightbridge-reports-financial-results-third-210500117.html
"Yes. Well, while there's been disappointing news this year, and we certainly recognize that there has been some, we've also completed some major milestones we had set for 2019. As we reported a couple of months ago, we successfully demonstrated a co-extrusion manufacturing process for full length rod using surrogate materials for application, the current and future generation of light water reactors, including small modular reactors. We'll continue to focus on making progress on our fuel development milestones that we believe will drive long-term shareholder value. We know we haven't had a lot of news for you lately. We're having a lot of good news for you lately. We are working very hard to turn that around for you."
The CEO sold out the company today. He should have explored options to close down the company and sell the assets.
Bought additional shares today. Lets wait and see if this was a smart decision...
R&D Service Agreement aimed for Q4 2019. See slide 5 of recent prospectus. https://ih.advfn.com/stock-market/NASDAQ/yield10-bioscience-YTEN/stock-news/80998037/free-writing-prospectus-filing-under-securities
Potential revenue is $1-6 million plus future royalties (according slide 8). Depending on the details this has potential to boost the share price imo.
Today's news further validates YTEN's technology. J. R. Simplot is a multibillion company.
The CEO should obviously resign. Shareholder value is not his strength.
Recently I again bought YTEN shares. I am optimistic that YTEN will report some good news hopefully soon.

Yield10 Bioscience, Inc. (YTEN) CEO Oliver Peoples on Q2 2019 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
https://seekingalpha.com/article/4285013-yield10-bioscience-inc-yten-ceo-oliver-peoples-q2-2019-results-earnings-call-transcript
“CBD is a good example of a product targets for Yield10's traits and capabilities that considerable value for third-party with deep knowledge of the medical CBD business. Yet we're seeing a funded R&D program and upfront payments research funding and license revenues, as appropriate. These product targets provide opportunities for Yield10 to develop businesses that generate product revenue and/or partnerships of downstream revenue. We will keep you posted as it continues to make progress and finalize the business cases.”
“And we're also actively engaged in discussions with third parties interested in deploying our traits in a variety of other commercially important crops. We plan to keep you updated on the progress we're making all of these areas in the second half 2019.”
Seth Grae should obviously step down.
Friday LTBR was trading at 78 cents before the close and then the final trade brought it back down to 74 cents.
We are primed for a major run in my opinion when the contract with the utility is finalized.
Seth Grae should obviously resign. The reaction of the market to the long awaited milestone says everything...

Here are the most notable quotes from the Q1 CC. The stock will move up soon in my humble opinion...
"As we have discussed previously, we submitted a new grant application to the U.S. Department of Energy in late January 2019 and we expect to hear back later this quarter. Our business is not dependent on these grants however if a DOE Grant is awarded, it will help accelerate our project timelines through the Enfission JV with Framatome.
Just last month, the gateway for accelerated innovation in nuclear or GAIN initiative of the U.S. department of energy, office of nuclear energy announced that Framatome, Inc. had been awarded a nuclear energy voucher to help accelerate licensing of the Lightbridge Fuel design. This GAIN nuclear energy voucher further validates DOEs support for our technology which bodes well for future opportunities. DOE established gain to provide the nuclear community with technical, regulatory, and financial support to advance innovative nuclear technologies toward commercialization.
While our focus is on developing fuel for large Western pressurized water reactors Andrey mentioned the 17x17 reactors, we're also seeing increased interest in Lightbridge Fuel for other types of reactors. We expect to have upcoming news on this subject."
“We're working on potential new membership, overseas membership, I think very significant relating to the Nuclear Utility Fuel Advisory Board. And we're expecting what could be fairly near-term news relating to an additional kind of reactor and interest in our fuel and how we think that might also help with the Department of Energy.”
“Well, as we mentioned, we are moving forward expeditiously with discussions to finalize this first utility agreement. It is going well. While I realize investors are anxious for the details, we are limited by strict confidentiality obligations as to what we can disclose right now. But what I can say is that we are following an established process that we expect will result in this lead test rod contract with a major U.S. nuclear utility this year. We expect this will be the most significant milestone our company has yet reached. And we will communicate the details as soon as we are able to do so under the confidentiality or operating under. Unfortunately, that is all we can say right now.”
"In February, as discussed on our last call, I was grateful to have had the opportunity to meet with President Trump and discuss Lightbridge Fuel and how the U.S. nuclear power industry helps bring the strongest nonproliferation, safety and security standards to global markets.
We also discussed the strength of nuclear suppliers from across the U.S. industry and how these strengths contribute to the domestic industrial base that is vital to American companies competing and winning overseas."
Framatome: Positioned for the next evolution of nuclear fuel
April 18, 2019
https://www.tri-cityherald.com/news/special-reports/progress-edition/article229352344.html
We continue to build momentum on new fuel designs and concepts. Last year, we announced our joint venture with Lightbridge Corp., “Enfission,” to bring Lightbridge’s unique metallic fuel design to market — work that is ongoing at our Richland facility.
