xzx yes this could be what is behind the GREENIE movement, our rebuilding of the AMERICAN DREAM,taking charge of our affairs. So many have invested money overseas that they will sell down on the USA to protect their INVESTMENTS overseas. IMO: they think bashing will stop the PEBBLE and as you have said while they DRIVE their smokin AUTOs all over and do turn that BLIND eye elsewhare. We need to realize there is MOTIVE behind all of this ANTI-AMERICAN PROSPERITY, it is/are the off shore influence that comes here to our FREE LAND and throw sand into our PROJECTS with the intent that they can bolster their BUSSINESS from their homelands with their controlling FAMILIES. I have been chasing the RABBIT around to avoid some known names and countries that are very active in these activities. They are even trading PARTNERS. To that I say with friends like that we dont need any enemies.

Right XYZ. It takes one ton of copper to make a wind turbine. I am not anti-environmentalist, but extracting all our minerals here--in a thoughtful and conscientious manner--is also becoming a national security issue if it isn't already. Which, by the way, seems to be an area of expertise for Chuck Vollmer.

Good Post xzx.

I've been holding back on this opinion of mine for a while now, but what the hell...

I actually hope the Pebble project fails, and here's why:

1) If Pebble is around for 45 - 78 years, why would anyone need to open up our BCSP claims during that time? The demand for our copper/gold reserves would be quelled by Pebble's production.

2) NAK/HDI don't want us to get our BCSP claims developed before their claims. We're in straight-up competition with them. IMO, it's a race to get one of the biggest copper/gold claims in the world into full mining production. If NAK/HDI was so excited about our claims then why aren't they drilling the hell out of them right now?

3) Why did we partner with MLV to find financing and production partners instead of HDI? HDI doesn't want the world to know about our Big Chunk claims because they are geographically/environmentally better situated than Pebble, plus they're probably larger in size and ore value.

4) If Pebble fails, Anglo and HDI will be looking for an alternative plan...which I think will become our Big Chunk claims, for the reasons outlined above.

5) If Pebble succeeds, Anglo/HDI/NAK will turn a blind eye to BCSP. What's good for Ron Thiessen is not necessarily good for LBSR, and vice versa. True, we did get a comprehensive ZTEM of NAK and LBSR Big Chunk claims, but why aren't the drill bits hitting the ground? Thiessen will keep us on the back-burner until Pebble fails, then we'll become Option B for HDI/NAK.

I truly hope Briscoe doesn't trust Thiessen to do the right thing for LBSR, which I think the hiring of MLV is evidence of that.
