RE: My concernWillie Lamarque strikes me as quite thoughtful - and very deliberate in his actions. He has previously said, and reiterated in this interview, that EC must focus on Gold exploration, and fund it through the sale of non core assets. He has indicated that Rio Zarza is the most important - but not the only - focus of the company. He has mentioned moving exploration activities north into Valle de Tigre, commencing (finally) exploration in our Brazilian tenements, and also raised the possibility of acquiring gold producing properties not currently in our portfolio to provide a stable revenue stream. These activities considerably broaden the company's focus - and require cash for funding. I am sure, however, that should Rio Zarza exploration "ignite" interest, he would be quick to increase funding. He has made it clear that raising the share price is a major objective of his.
