Good morning,

1) I deal with ScotiaBank for some of my share trading. Shares of ECU have not been converted to AUM yet as of September 13. My ECU warrants show a positive credit balance, but have not been converted to AUM warrants either. ( Big dollar $$ balance in my account looks good on paper!! )

2) It is easier for those that want to short Golden Minerals at $12.30 per share than at $0.75 per share for ECU. The bleeding will stop soon, I hope.

I trust that when we finally get our shares converted that there is not a mass exodus out. We "longs" should hold to see the value of Golden Minerals rise into the future. That is why I am here.

3) The following message was received from Karen Winkler, Golden Minerals Investor Relations on September 07th in answer to my inquiry I sent to the company September 02nd. (( Excellent response time for an email.))

“ Golden Minerals is participating in the Precious Metals Summit. We are scheduled to present and/or participate in the following conferences in the next several months:

4) I am happy with the companies response and its current direction. Let Golden Minerals and its management do its marketing programs and settle into being a new company.

I think we all will be pleasantly surprised.
