Here is a better Aurelian chart to make my point about kodiak's future. To me, they are both major gold discoveries with the eventual number of ounces of mineable resource anybody's guess. Both are district-size plays.

Aurelian had a four for one split in July 07, so that the market cap of Aurelian is now just over c$1 billion (133 mm shares times c$8).

Up until spring of 06, I dont think the entire company had a market cap of more than $50 million. Just guessing since I dont have the historic info on shares outstanding. but roughly right.

All this has happened within the last two years in Ecuador against a very uncertain political backdrop.

With Kodiak we are in a country that is favorable to mining, has infrastructure, etc, with a district size play.
