Ann: Acquisition Express Lithium Project James Bay Quebec Canada, page-11

Nothing to copper. Its just a liability as far as any lithium hunter is concerned. It would only empty the coffers.
Unless they free carry it as you suggest. All these small time copper, gold, base metals, explorers, are just graveyards for scrip and very little to show for it over many years. The reason they have grabbed the lithium is they recognize that one drill hit into a lithium of substance can give them momentum, they would never have other wise.
One drill hit on copper, would do what ? in comparison ? There is also the advantage of charitable flow through funding available in Canada, that give you 2 x $ for 1 X scrip. = minimal dilution on exploration dollars. WR1 lead the way, and others are picking up on that. But the dollars need to be spent on canada exploration.
