Anyone know what to think of Bruce Bragagnolo and Arturo Bonillas resigning as directors of Silvermex? I'm assuming it's just a time committment issue? (they have their hands full with Timmins Gold).

Silvermex has stellar management in place and are sitting on a resource that will rise substanially in value over the next few years... so I can't imagine why else they would leave.
