Well, why did they put out the PR now? Then again first everyone was screaming for one, now we are considering whether it wouldn't have been better to wait... they'll never be able to win...
Investors (most) prefer to read 'potential reserve of x million ounces of copper..' in a PR. Instead they read "sub-economic copper mineralization throughout most of the drill hole."
REE references do not hold the same value for most, agreed.
I also read:
* "Results have been received for the upper section of the drill hole from 30 to 40.1m." So not all.
* "Additional samples are being analyzed for the rare earth and associated elements from other deeper sections of the hole and will be reported when received."
* "...are eagerly awaiting the next batch of assays to find out just how consistent REE are at depth and if the grades improve."
* "The property will be re-examined in light of potential for additional rare earth element mineralization. Further testing of the main Rusty Ridge zone as well as other targets including strong IP (Induced Polarization) anomalies, some of which are coincident with gravity anomalies, will be considered."
Next to that, what about the additional claims. Would they spend money for nothing? And this has not been in a PR, only people going through this board basically know about this...
But that's it. We were not just anticipating news, we were anticipating news of the motherload of Copper, Gold, and other stuff we can visualize. The REE's, we basically are clueless of its value. Market reacts.
