The drilling comes first to define a resource and then get's somewhere on thinking about metallurgy/extraction Once results proven, you then let things speak for themselves. I expect a LIN style run once drill results are announced over time for MTM Happy to sit and wait.
Note the below drill result of Geomega and Lindian.
Geomega in Canada
512.7m @ 1.38% TREO (incl. 0.105% Nb2O5 for 364m of the hole) - Announced 14/02/2011
"Neodymium oxide continues to be an important component of the TREO with an average grade of 0.24% (2.4 kg per tonne)".
That's 17% of the Rare earths of Neodymium in the result. (0.24%/1.38% = 17%)
544.6m @ 1.41% TREO, Niobium not declared on announcement (Announcement - 22/06/2011)
