Thanks to all those who posted replies. It does seem to be largely a sentiment issue which only trouble-free mine operation and sustained output will dispel.
I have followed the progress (and the posts) of both JBM and MRE for some time and believe that both have merit. I finally opted for MRE because I felt that it was relatively undervalued given the quality of its resource and because I believe it has more potential upside - unless of course JBM proves up its latest drill finds.
Once again, all comments were appreciated.
