Hello,

I have been invested in ecu since I was 16 about nine years now. I have bought on the lows and highs. I think when aum gets the 2000 tpd mill placed in we will really see some movement. I know this is forward thinking but how do dividends work? I have been doing some research on them and saw there is something called a Ex-dividend date lets say Nov 15 then there is a record date usually two days later. Then there is a payout date. What is the difference between the Ex date and record date? If you wanted to sell and move on which would you have to wait for before you would get the payout? I like reading this forum because there seems to be knowledgable posters. You guys and gals really seem to know whats going on. I have learned a lot about the global markets. Wouldnt that be something if we were producing enough to start regular dividends? Thank you. Any help would be appreciated.

Kevin
