I also hope the federal government does not get involved. These metals are very important for our military technology and economic growth concerning consumer and industrial products.

So is Lisa Murkowski’s proposal going to help loosen up areas of mineral interests? Or is the GOV JUST PUTTING ON A SHOW?

I am as pleased as anyone that we are finally turning our (American) attention to what our short sightedness has wrought, but underplaying what is involved or how soon it will take for these projects to get up and running and really producing REOs is going to take far longer than the market is pricing in.
