Message: ECU Silver Reports Best Operating Month in March 2010

Thanks for the update Argoz, it's good to see progress. Numbers are getting better every month and I expect this to continue for quite a few months yet. The base metals for March are likely closer to $130k and this will improve substantially as higher grade sulphide ores are in the production plan as well as an increase in daily tonnage and more days of production as full production has not yet been attained. The oxide ores being processed in the oxide mill are also scheduled for higher grade feed now that the mill is finally reaching improved and better recoveries and higher performance.

It seems most of the start-up problems are behind the ECU oxide mill and I would expect the move to $2 million per month in revenue is close at hand and then the move toward $2.8-$3 million per month will begin, time and patience is all that is required. It's also worth noting that the 8600 ounces of gold inventory will continue to grow as more gold pyrite con is produced from sulphide ores and continued processing of the tailings tonnage which remains around 80,000 tonnes. With all in total operational and corporate costs right now of about $1.2 million dollars per month, the future is looking much better. Excess cash will allow more ramp development which is essential for future plans and a resumption of exploration in the weeks and months ahead.
