As last time, Ken, nobody denies that uranium is a hot commodity right now. But be real, maybe it's time to be humble for once? Last year you said "You'll all eat crow, this company should drop what they have and get a lithium project asap". What would have happened if they had followed your advice? There'd be no Boland, no mineral resource, just a lithium very early exploration play, with - in that scenario - the SP following the one that other lithium explorers had since then. I'm glad they didn't just drop everything and went after a lithium-prospective tenement just because you decided it's what they "should do".
I'm glad you're doing well, securing lithium projects last year, securing iron ore now, that's awesome! But that's because in what you do now, always going after the "hot commodity of the month" is what's most profitable, pegging ground and flipping it, that requires short- to medium-term plans, so that approach works, a tactical one. For exploration companies themselves though, if they always just jump around following the hot commodity of the month, they'd switch projects every 6 months (which also shows from you first pushing tin here, then REE, then lithium, then uranium), and never get anywhere with their exploration efforts. It primarily takes a strategic approach rather than a tactical one to be a junior explorer surely. And in that sense, just like REE went hot in 2021 and cooled down since (although prices are still well over the pre 2021 levels for all but Praseodynium), just like lithium went hot in late 2021 and 2022 and cooled down since, it's likely to happen with every other resource too where supply is elastic to price.
Importantly, I'd like to point out once more that IF coincidentally historic samples point to a great uranium play in Cobra's new tenement, everybody surely would be over the moon, nobody is hating on uranium or denying that it is a hot commodity right now. The reservations I have to your posts sometimes are that you ALWAYS seem to be on the "they need to go after [insert any metal that they don't have]" hype train (which makes sense, as in your main role of pegging ground, that's what's making you all the money), rather than acknowledging what they have, a pretty exciting prospect in a commodity that as recently as 2 years ago was one of your 3 main focus metals, and the way that cycles go probably will be in your 3 main focus metals again in 2 years' time.
