Donny's commentsGood commentary Donny and your statement about "you speculate in stocks based on the future potential of a company, not the past" is so appropriate to this current operation. Successful people can take a troubled operation (for whatever the reason), clean it up, turn it around and make a success out of it if they have the assets and tools to work with which Ecometals has. William Lamarque is in the process of making something out of EC as his managerial skill set and personality is much different than Daniel Major who was a mining engineer. Lamarque is focused, determined and dedicated to finding a major Au discovery. So looking backward is not any indicator of where this company is heading near, mid or long term.
Price appreciation will come as the operation achieves the milestones starting with the drilling the shallow quartz veins (which we know contains gold), the Brazil Mn stockpile resolution, geological 3D interpretations, deep drilling targets, shallow assay results, start of deep drilling targets, follow up drilling and so forth. It's worth doing it right and getting the right results than rushing the operations and botching it up.
