And just a quick footnote: There is one pure silver play in Mexico, which is the Battopilas Mine in Chihuahua, which represents a very unique deposit type in that it is native silver hosted within extremely narrow, high grade veins, and only a few places in the world have been documented with economic concentrations under that geology. Battopilas was mined out in the 1800s but MAG Silver is exploring the region trying to find similar deposits. Other than that, if anyone can name even one pure silver mine in Mexico I want to hear about it. I dont think anyone can...

cheers!
