I think anyone with long term ambitions buying this stock today would ponder the probability of Australia opening up u mining. Beattie in Qld has said if the ALP conference approves mining, then Qld will follow suit, but never allow processing. If on the other hand the conference refers it back to the states to make up their own mind, then Qld would maintain its current position. If then for example we say "Australia opens up" this will by definition swing attention back to local miners like MKY etc to the detriment of external miners of u like BLR. Politics will play it's part. The best thing for BLR would the be the status quo with regard to mining. This is only one aspect that I ponder on, which is why I have a small holding in MKY to offset any damage. Like I said in a previous post, "the next 6 weeks or so are critical " for BLR with news and politics playing there part. If we had a chart for sentiment it would be really helpful.
