Hi Major:

Over 800K shares traded on the two exchanges. Maybe this is due to the better press the company's story is receiving these days coupled with the silver price edging its way up towards $19. It would be interesting to sit in on conversations that AUM management presumably has about when or whether to start mining operations again. Seems to me like a very difficult decision given the volatility throughout the world and the lack of assurance that gold and silver will finally be seen as "money" in the way we have been told it should be by the gurus that we here often read.

Interesting times indeed.
