It's true what you say sharkbite. There is one tangible that needs support. ECU must start taking action on the mining side. Of course it sounds good that we have the discoveries already made. But without a profit the company must rely on the money invested in ECU. I am noyt quitting for sure, the fact is though when you can't even get credit with almost a perfect credit score {I mean to say the general public} how does ECU continue to pay the bills. I don't believe anyone even at the highest price paid to be in ECU will be damaged. The underlying truth is that ECU must produce or the possibilities become more aware that a buyout could happen. It's not what I want but I must look at what the company is leading to. We have had cheaper prices on fuel, even a better chance of keeping a good price for labor in this economy, from all reports from this board everything is in place to make the commintment to higher production, and most promising if we all still believe gold has a sweet upturn coming ,along with silver, then now is the time to produce. If all judgements are right March would make ECU shine like nothing before.
