From about 3 months ago. M.D discussing Sybella at discovery stage. They found the prospect through a search of a govt geo database. So many favourable aspects if the resource is a goer. There is also a little heavy RE content in the mineralisation in addition to the lighter Nd/Pr elements and I was reading elsewhere that this heavier stuff is what is more scarce and what big companies like LYC are looking to acquire. As he says in this interview, small percentages of Dysprosium (one of the heavies, there is also Terbium) even at lower recoverability is still a hell of a lot of valuable kilograms when you are bulk mining mega tonnes of ore to get the main Nd/Pr payload.
Note comments about 20kms proximity to Mt Isa and even closer to an acid producing plant.
