Ah, looks like we have life on the thread. Good to see your continued support and interest in Tib Lake. I agree with your point as to the value of palladium... no doubt its the reason why many of us became shareholders. I would like to expand on your point regarding the markets for rare metals. I can state it simply as follows: Li - SQUI is a petalite equivalent, a discovery would require other metal production (niche market opportunities) Cs - at current oil prices, deep-water offshore drilling is ready to mushroom as will the demand for Cabot's cesium formate and acetate (remember they have the only known deposit of any size - and that is relatively small in terms of tonnage + I doubt they would want any competing supply (if you know what I mean). Ta - HC. Starck continues to buy from the U.S. defense stockpiles, vertical integration strategy of Cabot Corp. (also the world's largest user of Ta for electrical capacitors) is to secure supply, long-term contract prices with Sons of Gwalia will rise (currently U.S. $41/lb), etc. Other secondary products could be Rb, Be, etc. You know the rest from previous posts. Let's hope we see continued activity on both properties. DRT
