Excelsior Mining, which is located next to Nord on Hwy 10 NNE of Tombstone, is an advanced stage explorer nearing the development stage - lots of drilling done, feasibility studies, etc. They have a generous Internal Rate of Return as shown by their most recent feasibility study, and further studies underway at this time can only improve their prospects.

Now, too, they are winning awards and attention from the industry, but like so many other companies in this sector, they are failing with investors.

Here's today's news, on which they got at 13 percent bounce:

But from high to low over the last year, they still lost over 50 percent, while doing everything right.

My point is, lower share prices and thin trading volumes have little to do with potential, especially where the sector is so very much out of favor.
