Read that EcuaGold, TSX.V:EGR, has a high stake in a land area of proven mineralization, is well-funded, and works in a "mining friendly " REGION KNOWN AS THE SAN BARTOLOME MINING CONCESSION, located 20 km s/e of Cuena, Ecuador's third largest city.

Between 1991 and 1994, mining interests extracted over one million ounces of Silver from this site.

EcuaGold is now well-funded for exploration by a recent $6.9 million dollar IPO with follow up of the assay results in the works.

As ARU holders I'm sure we wish them success.

On the Markets today, Thin Soup. With the Bernanke Fed playing it safe and investors hoping for more, looks like they're grinding it out at present.

Economic growth is slowing down, reflecting the intensification of the housing correction with softening in business and consumer spending and financial markets straining.

This hardly indicates growth balanced with risk/inflation. Now if foreign investors are spooky of all this they won't be buying Wall Street assets, and then the current accounts don't get financed and the US dollar weakens more.

What an opportune time with Gold starting to shine for ARU to come out with some SPECTACULAR NEWS.
