surface rights The reason I think people are selling is because of the prodesc getting their surface rights back.

Copy and paste link in translator and you will see what I mean. Court case was yesterday.

Excellon's Property Rights at La Platosa
Excellon owns a total of approximately 41,000 hectares of mineral and mining rights at La Platosa, including the mineral rights underlying all of the Ejido's surface rights, and will continue to hold these mineral rights for the foreseeable future. These mineral rights entitle the Company to explore for and mine minerals at the La Platosa Mine and in an extensive surrounding area.
Of these 41,000 hectares of mineral and mining rights, Excellon owns all associated surface rights needed to produce silver from the La Platosa Mine and conduct further underground exploration. Additionally, the Company owns approximately 750 hectares of surface rights, including those immediately beside the promising Rincon del Caido target, from which further drilling on that target may be conducted, if necessary. Apart from the 1,100 hectares leased from the Ejido, the Company also leases a further 995 hectares of exploration ground in the northern area of the La Platosa property, and may otherwise obtain permission from local landowners as necessary for further exploration purposes.
