Thanks for your informative posts Coach. I continue to wonder about the future of ECU given the reported conditions in today's mining industry. We are bombarded with news that the major companies are desperate for high quality reserves. ECU is hurrying to evaluate their property and would seem to be an ideal target for an acquisitor. As a shareholder I am of two minds - wouldn't a big takeout offer be nice, but wouldn't ECU leave a lot of future value on the table if it was absorbed by a major. In either case the future seems assured for those who take the long view.
