Thanks.

The Winston Diamond purchase makes no sense. Totally different type of mining and difference market, there is no synergy between the two at all. Perhaps the TCK.B dumping of K shares may have flooded the market with K shares as well.

Anyway, the point about Ecuador is a good one. What did happen to the mining laws down there? I thought they would have all gone back to drilling by now. The anniversary of that stupid mining moratorium is coming up fast. It was April 19, 2008 if I remember correctly - the day that ARU died (though officially it happened later in August).
