oh yes, in the 4th quarter, ECU had to pay US$ 1'000'000.00 for the mineral concession. two more payment to go until November 2011 (US$ 1mio each). So this is really encouraging for 1st quarter 2011. No payment has to be made here. as the minus in q4 was CAD 630tds, there is a good chance for a profit in q1 2011. in 45 days, we know more... :-)
