RE: 2 weeksTheRock17,
Although I have been quitely reading your posts for a while, and respect your analysis and opinion, I disagree with your comments about anaylst coverage.
The fact that this company does not yet have analyst coverage is surprising to me, and is indicative of the fact Colin is not doing what his position demands. If Colin is kept out the information loop then he should not be I.R.
I know about the newsletter coverage, but at this juncture, I think that is now insufficient. There are a host of juniors that are pre-production or advanced exploration that have reasonable analyst coverage, and their I.R. people are very much part of the information loop - kind of pointless to have I.R. people if they are nopt privy to, or trusted with, key corporate information.
I have been holding and following AUN since 2004 (I first bought at $0.19), including coming to this board to read the posts when, frankly, not much was happening. I believe that the AUN share price is now suffering due to this lack of analyst coverage, and firmly believe that management and and I.R. should be actively soliciting coverage from the analyst community.
To be sure, I do believe that AUN will rise as it progresses with its production operations and acquistions. This, however, in my view, is no excuse for managment/IR not to concurrently sell the AUN story to analysts, and get some onboard, to maximize the potential of its story (speculative value) for the benefit of its loyal shareholders... like me. To not do this is negligent... but that's just my opinion.

Bentonstocks

Colin is kept out of the information loop and his role is entirely administrative.
As for coverage, I would not expect such coverage until they begin production and have achieved ramp-up production status.
We have had excellent newsletter coverage, and that is the type that would be expected in the absence of production metrics.
Anyway, gold , silver and the base metals continue their recent rally today, with silver now over $13 and gold over $650.
