Going over the facts
As an investor in LBE for the last few years, I have folowed the roller coaster ride from fast paced developements to shut down of the mines and back to production. Certainly shows the tenacity of management to keep going and build some value for shareholders. I am sure Millrights/Nickel77 observations are correct but the ongoing battle with Rocksolid/Trailerpark Boy from ISM about ISM and Liberty is simply raising false perceptions about LBE. That confuses investors or potential investors, which has been Rocksolid's game from day one. Anyone who cares to spend a day going through the Stockhouse archives can verify the following facts. I like many others, have called Liberty to speak with Gary to fill in any other blanks. The following are questions raised by Rocksolid/Trailer Park Boy/Drillbit over the last couple of years. All of them have been answered at least to some extent by Millright, Nickel77 and others.
1.Rocksolid states over and over that all the Chinese want is the nickel. Millright points out that is not true since the Chinese has publicly stated (press release) that LBE is selling all of the concentrate to Xstrata. It should be pointed out that an exemption to process ore out of Canada was granted to LBE to ship to Jilin Jien in November 2005. That, as per the press release states, expires in November 2010. As Xstrata has a smelter on Canadian soil, an exemption will not be granted for an extension as per the mining act of Ontario. The Chinese can therefore not get any nickel from Liberty so Rocky is dead wrong.
2. Rockhead/Strom/Tailertrash promote the untruth that Jilin Jien want to take LBE private and screw us shareholders. As long as the price of nickel is above $7-8 as stated by the company, LBE will be able to make the cash needed to pay off all loans to JJ over time. The 2010 guidance was put out early this year and we will all be following that closely. Producing around 6 million pounds of nickel in 2010 at $8.50 per pound payable pushes LBE into mid tier status which I am told means $50 million or more revenue in 2010. Any intelligent person would understand all of this and simply monitor progress of the company. The bashers promote falsities ignoring the facts that JJ provided interim cash to get McWatters into full production to provide the company the means to pay off all of the debt. The bashers fail to understand the power of minority shareholders. No public company can be simply taken private without proper compensation to all shareholders. Why would JJ help management to maximize earnings if JJ wanted to take the company private?
3. Today Rockhead wants to know about a can of worms opening up from the defamation suit launched by ISM against some naysayers in 2007. It is well known that most company's try to model their neighbour's resources based on information made public on the drill data. Buxom was doing that as well. I am sure the LBE geologists modelled the Langmiur deposits of ISM and Nash knew that the Bullboard misconceptions posted by the ISM promoters were many times overstated. The ISM Micon report was the can of worms that was opened up by ISM later proving that the grossly overstated resources referred to on the BB or Darcel report were wrong. Nickel77 pointed out that Rockhead seemed to have inside knowledge of a meeting between LBE and ISM geologists where a swap from L1 and L2 was purported to be discussed. Rockhead seems to know the answer to the rest of his question/s so he should answer it/them and post them for all of us to see.
4. Rockhead bashes LBE for replacing mine managers over the last year since startup. I called the company to confirm the mine "managers" didn't pan out and were replaced or quit and that LBE is intent on meeting stated targets. Looks like the last one replaced brought some "dirt" that Rockhead latched onto.
Enough for now.

Debt is what killed LBE, it is too bad because the ore bodies were small yet decent enough too make money for the shareholders. Now they are owned by the Chinese.trailorparkboy

Whatever possessed you to think you could construct a meaningful sentence. I shake and tremble at the thought of you trying multi paragraphs.

trailorparkboy,Slicky sleaze is an apt description of millwright aka victor for sure. I have never seen a bigger liar. The guy bashes other stocks and pumps this dog when a sole enity (the peoples republic of china) owns a majority stake. Anyone knowing this wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.Rocky
