With the nature of the economy today, it might be difficult to get financing of any kind but especially equity financing; money is tight.

I recently spoke with Don Graham at Copper Mountain asking him how they would finance the $437M needed to build a mine. And, that's with much existing infrastructure. He didn't even mention equity financing but indicated that the company had at least three suitors who might be willing to put up the money. He didn't say who they were.

I hope that Bell can raise the financing to bring the Mexican property on line. If so, it appears that we could have a winner.

Any comments?
