sorry haven't been in discussion lately, but I have written to Mr. altmann a few times. The best part of that was he makes a statement every time I write to him. I don't believe that ECU will have a problem financing there projects at least not at this time. What excites me the most is that ECU is ready to start production in there mines. If they could get 1000 tonnes instead of the mere 400 tonnes they have in the past look out ECU will take off. I researched this last year in Miningpedia which felt at that time ECU needed to produce more. Although a great assumption at the time we all should be glad they took the time to get all there eggs in the same basket. Around the same time there was a lot of talk of silver reaching 200.00 a ounce. Would love to see that but realisticly 50.00 would be a great for this year. If in fact ECU has done there homework they should be set up financialy to overcome any inflation concerns. This would put us all in a great position maybe even in the near future. Either way there is a lot of good positioning right now and if our shares can ever get across the 5.00 mark look out. The possibilities would be endless for all who have waited patiently as we should see a lot more buying and means to do more exploration. Anyone see that ship roll in yet.
