Very positive close and I suspect that is the last of the Blackmont stock from the issue for sale. I'm 90% sure that stock would have been purchased by a fund/institution as a result of the company getting into production more efficiently and faster than lots of people thought possible or expected. I have stated many times this mill startup would go smoothly and in a timely manner even if some had doubts. I have seen this mill and am very cognizant of the capability of ECU workers and management.

There have been a number of serious large buyers lately and of course today's large institutional buyer now and they have had the benefit of buying with less risk as more information has become progressively known. This risk reduction will continue as the company starts processing the higher grade ore material being stockpiled and the gold/pyrite con as opposed to development material so far.
