Q: Was looking at the financials for this company. They appear to have had a very strong Q3 with revenue increasing 78% year over year based on management's strategy to focus more on water treatment services rather than sales of recovered minerals. However, there are only 1.2M shares outstanding with insiders owning approximately half. Further, the Company is continuing to buy back stock in spite of the already low float. Do you think they are possibly setting up for a "go private" transaction? Otherwise, why would they do this? Do you see value in investing in this company?

Thank you for your service to investors

Q: Any thoughts on BQE as a play on increased mining activity due to commodity demand? I feel China is a risk given a lot of their business is here but they also have North American exposure. Environmental impact minimization of wastewater would seem to be a mandatory thing for any new mine permitting. I see the US is looking for Rare earth sites in Canada so overall, I do expect an increase in mining activity in North America. Do you agree?

Q: I would appreciate your thoughts on BQE, as you have not commented on this stock for some time.
