The wonderful thing about using rare earths for promoting a questionable mining stock is that they can truthfully say they "found" rare earths at their mining property. Rare earths are present in just about every rock on earth. A few ppm is a far cry from ore-grade rare earths......but most folks have no clue about the difference.
If they are truly going to move to rare earths, and away from precious metals.....it is a sign this thing is finally wrapping up.
