I also invest in ECU and a few other jr miners. The current situation ofor financing is extremely difficult fot these miners. It takes a lot of money to develop a mine, and the money is cheap to banks and they are just hhoarding it. One would think that when the US taxpayer is forced to "give" $s to banks for free that low interest rate loans would be available. Thai's what I get for thinking.

ECU really took a hit when they did a recent oppering even though the proceeds went to buy a mill with which they have now brought on line and are prodcing gold/silver dore. We are ina very tough time for miners and especially juniors. With all the currencies of the world racing to weaken themselves, I am holding tight to all my pm shares and silvercrest will be with me for the long run!
