Somehow the rest of my post disappeared...

That NR link is of interest because it documented the discovery of the vein extension at the Terneras vein that ECU has announced it will begin mining today. The very high grades included this drill interval:

Hole BV 07-04 cuts Terneras vein yielding grades of 3,130 g/t silver

I congratulate management for recognizing the need to restart production, and acting so quickly to get it done. Furthermore, the NR came out at the right time to support the stock and reassure the nervous investors out there.

With gold and silver now trading so much higher than it was just 2 years ago, I am looking forward to seeing some very good numbers coming out of the operations side in the next few quarters.

cheers!
