If it could only attain half of what it did in the last cycle, I would consider this to be an excellent bet/play (on my part anyway). But do your own DD. ====== Start of Press Release ============= ECU Silver Mining to begin operating rented mill ECU Silver Mining Inc ECU Shares issued 76,667,554 May 23 close $0.07 Fri 24 May 2002 News Release Mr. Michel Roy reports ECU Silver Mining will complete the preparation of its rented mill this week and plans to start operating the mill next week, starting at 100 tonnes per day to reach the normal operating level of 200 tonnes per day within a week. At the La Esperanza project, the vein is being developed on the first level and was reached on the second level. Development work, before opening the second level along the vein, will be completed early next week. No assays are available at this time but the crosscut entered the vein at the same location as a previous drill hole (hole 104 from the first drilling campaign by Minera Hecla) that cut a true width section of three meters grading 13.75 grams per tonne gold and 508.4 grams per tonne silver. The position of the hole was observed underground. In early May, Minera Hecla processed 1,874 tonnes grading 3.87 grams per tonne gold and 151 grams per tonne silver at their mill in Velardena. This material came from bulk mining in the open pit and the grades were as expected. The financing reported in Stockwatch on April 10, 2002, should be completed in the first half of June. Management is unware of any material changes that could explain the increased volume of transactions. (c) Copyright 2002 Canjex Publishing Ltd. stockwatch.com bonne chance a tout, Winzer
