argoz, let me start by saying your analysis of the potential tonnage and ore values taken from the recent drill assays at Valerdena are much appreciated.

Earlier this year, ECU management had stated that although one of their medium term objectives was to restart small scale production, they also felt it was imperative to preserve the larger vein structures in order to maintain the feasibility for bulk mining of the adjacent smaller veins. I'm not certain if the plans have changed since then but it they haven't it would most likely rule mining of the larger veins to feed their mill. Maybe some others here may have more current information regarding the source of the milling operation.
