I imagine there's a lot of cross-saturation between IBC shareholders and those of us who discovered the company only after investing in NioCorp first.
On the other hand, for the small set who only hold IBC shares - I wonder if they also grouse about their "part-time" CEO and question why he is dividing his time with a mining startup.
I'm still in the Mark Smith camp (not cult), but I can't help but think both companies would be better served if he devoted all his time to one or the other, and gave up his CEO role in one of them to someone exclusively committed to that particular company.
It is the uncercainty of EMC that is playing here. Nothing else; What will happen there after 1 July? Will it be sold , liquidated or will there be new contracts? That uncertainty is playing now.
Copper is doing very well and could do very well on its own.
