The drill program and first results a couple weeks or so later could be the catalyst. ECU is very much a resource story and this is it's what can really separate it from the pack but the company needs to be drilling to get this recognition started again. First drilling is starting any day now and as announced they will be drilling on three fronts soon, Santa Juana, Chicago and San Diego. It's resource building which rocketed ECU to the top of the class a few years back and it's this that will do it again. Production is simply a means to an end for ECU at this time and it won't become a production story until the next mill phase expansion and build.
When 5000 to 7000 tpd are being produced on ECU properties at Velardena then it will be a serious and major production story. In my view any company producing less than 5 million silver eq. ounces per year is not a real serious or large production story and must be mainly valued based on it's resource in the ground.
