I speak to them when I can but securities law prevents them from participating in an ECU on-line discussion forum. The company is aware of recent trading patterns and US based manipulative attempts. I expect and hope we will see some responses soon that may help clarify present trading patterns.

In my view the company is getting operationally stronger by the day and month but we need to stay tuned to see this over the coming months. Many gold stocks are not confirming this gold/silver move but I think it's real and will prove to be so over the coming weeks. It seems to me that many gold/silver stocks are being sold and shorted by hedge funds who are short in one last attempt to break them and cover before the coming big moves. This may delay the moves higher and then again it may make them move sooner and faster if these criminals fail. I plan to stay long and not try to guess the outcome in what could be an explosive move higher.
