RE: RE: Rome is not built in one dayYou echo my feelings precisely. Over the last few years, EC suffered political problems with Ecuador's exploration halt, and legal problems with our Brazilian JV partner. Through it all, the geology did not change. The potential did not change. Now that Willie Lamarque has charted an aggressive exploration program, and insured it's funding by the sale of non-core assets, it is a function of waiting for the exploration to bear success. I am especially excited by the retention of Mr. Simmons - an expert in epithermal systems, and precisely the guy you want working with Steve McMullan in the identification of targets at Rio Zarza. I was also pleased that exploration will (finally) commence at Valle de Tigre - highly prospective in it's own right
