RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Recovery of Vanadium Electrolyte, Oxides - PhaseII Expansion@explman Now that is exactly what I was saying. Staking around the perimeter of Blackrock's claims probably doesn't effect the " mineability " of their deposit.
I have zero legal expertise but my guess is you could not prevent surface access but that does not mean you need to let someone dig on your claims to access another ore body on adjacent claims. VRB might not have been awarded enough of the claims to actually mine the deposit regardless of the quality.
Why your comment gets 1 star is a real question....very lucid reply and accurate description of the issue. Will be happy to be proven wrong but there is some reason VRB trades where it does and it is likely beyond management's ability to change.
