Sinbob,

Apologies not necessary, but thank you for your gracious reply. In the future I will refrain from conjecture and stick to the facts. I think everyone can agree the we the stock holders of ECU own a great resource with world class growth potential. I also consider that ECU has made great accomplisments during Mr. Altmanns tenure including more than doubling the resource base, finding the faulted extension of the Terneras Vein and closing the acquisition of the Velardena mineral claims. By all accounts, ECU has a much stronger deposit outline than 18 months ago, but its share price has dropped. Whether this is due to naked shorting is beyond my knowledge, but as a measure to fight this, I did take delivery of 98% of my ECU shares about 4 months ago. Regards,
