The good volume yesterday with ol' faithful houses like Research Capital biting off stock at 3 cents was a good sign to clean up some shares, that tradition needs to continue and for this Shaxon dude to wrangle in some deep pocketed penny players. It's amazing that there are still sellers out there with BCU lumped in the "bankruptcy pool" of penny stocks.

Thai, in doing the "crossing the fingers" closing my eyes trick in looking out, assuming BCU "survives" getting moved into "intensive care" (that's a perfect analogy of what's happening), i sure hope we see them assays a lot quicker than your guess seeing how the labs probably aren't that busy these days. We need moohla to keep chugging if Kabba will indeed be the focus of BCU moving thru the first 1/2 of 2009 (this long awaited drill program will tell the tale) which Roubini says is gonna be a toughie. One hole doesn't make a mine (i think the K3 stepout north was an example of this) and we know Marsh is ultra conservative, but nailing a few sweet spots would surely prime up the SP to do another round of financing you'd think. Make sense?

Sas, in regards to the re-alignment of properties, hmmm, i think they've smartened up in the "streamlinining" department (ie. add Sibley & Zomelahuacan to the growing pile) with many of the "wannabe" properties gonzo. I know Superior West and Apacheta were tough to let go, ol' Gryphon still sits there with "assays still pending"....go figure and talk about being transparent as a company. Or, are you saying that La Balsa's DFS won't make much sense if copper continues to lag? I think the Dec 4th NR pretty much put everything on the table but i'm kinda mystified with the "change up" in regards to the companies re-think to go it alone with Kabba (a good thing if they can pull if off and the grades are there in spades).
