EPM

In hindsightI have concluded that two things killed EPM.

1) Low grade ore body

2) Process problems that went on so long that they bled the project to death.

I was convinced after my own DD that this No. 2 pick of Claude Cormiers was a winner. I also (like you apparently) had too large a position in it.

I do remember voicing concern about the low grade of this play and getting "tuned up" here about not knowing what I was talking about.

What did I learn from all this?

1) Never overbuy a position size in anything.

2) Never dispense with my gut feeling on a matter.

3) Never talk up a project on a thread. Quietly do what I choose to do and don't risk having it thrown in my face by a disgruntled audience if it doesn't work out.

EPM..who'd a thunk it would be a bust..........
