Should HL take another run at DV it appears Sprott is now in the game and will likely want part of any action. There's something that HL found attractive there, which I find interesting.

The history of the Kitsault Valley is about as long as KH and I think DV has a good a chance as any of becoming a working concern.

That said there are the normal regulatory issues to resolve before it ever become a viable mine in BC (aka Bring Cash). Just as many issues as AXU so maybe 5 to 15 years? HL had a very long time to review AKH and finally made a decision when the timeing was perfect (for them), it's just business ;) I also bet there are a few current HL share holders that were bought in from AXU when Clynt said it was a great deal and that it would be all be blue sky as he sold. And there's ATAC that was brought on board.

Funny that DV never gets the promo blue sky (BS) coverage that AXU got, just shows you how good Clynt really was. LOL

As for trading HL I agee it is a short swing trade for retail and for professional traders with larger positions of cash on calls. I cant be bother personally and let the broker deal with that, its what they get paid for.

It appears silver is being treated like a commodity, AKH (like DV) was a junior with lots of promoters on board and shareholders betting on a large payout. The monies in the stock...:)

LF is still ramping up after last years unfortunate incident so we'll see the numbers soon enough, if they can get the extraction rates up back up (through UCB) and higher throughput the numbers will be interesting.. In any event it is a long term core settled asset for HL.
