You asked me to comment on Zaruma. It trades in Toronto ZMR.to. I took a quick look at it. Apparently most of the trading is in Europe.

Seems to be lots of shares, over 100M. I didn't read further, so really I'm not entitled to express any opinion. Do let us know if i have missed the point of it. Here's the chart:

Bluegold, I think you summarized well the main reasons that ZMR looks like it will have a bright future.
