I know Mark personally and he is a good guy. He just stareted with ECU in this position but has owned ECU for a long time and is a substantial holder of ECU shares. He has done IR with other companies, has good market knowledge and has traded the market full time for the last five years. I think he has experience with trade shows and media communications as well so I think it is great for ECU. He is actively calling shareholders and answering any questions they may have. He may not be up to speed on all the details of the mining aspect but has been around this stock a long time and knows quite a bit of the history.

I think it is a good move by ECU to hire someone to promote what we all know is an extermely undervalued cpmpany.
