I have read, digested, regurgitated etc. every post here pertaining to the latest news.

I have also done, and am still doing extensive DD but mainly from a “General, overall” position.

I am not a TA type and, as for specific details, exchange values, and anything remotely discussed concerning FIAT values, they hold little interest, at least to me - Consider what will happen IF/WHEN the FIAT money supply gets more out of control – even if ECU went to $3.65 today, as it did back in 2006, it’s worth, in terms of FIAT would still be at least 50% less than it was in 2006.

I have studied the 43-101 reports for Golden and ECU and overall they both have access to very impressive “in ground” supply, with promise of “more to come’.

In fact, even if the partnership does not go ahead, I can see myself seriously considering some kind of interest in AUM as well as maintaining/expanding my involvement in ECU.

Do I have misgivings?

Of course!

But they are my problem and it is my responsibility to handle them going forward.

By the way, this is a great board and I hope ALL existing ECU posters remain and new posters from AUM make their way here as well. I’m sure everyone here will make them feel very welcome.

Good Luck to all!
