Strungalong, if you copy into Word and then copy back into Agoracom it usually works pretty good.

The lead/Zinc mines are being affected by some super big mines coming on line. The total lock up of the credit market is also affecting all the resource sector. Then their is the freeze on buying in most sectors as people who have money conserve their cash. For us we have the hidden card of using our mill to advance our Gold properties. Acadian started out buying the Scotia Mine for this purpose - discovered the economics of the Getty's deposit and fast tracked the mill for the Zinc mine.

Funny thing was, economics looked good and they thought they had a sure bet on getting bank financing. It did not work that way and they had to go to dilution of shares and do an equity financing instead. They moved from being a darling to something that has been forgotten. The thing is though - these gold properties are the base of this company and they are good properties. Acadian fares better then most in that they do not have a great amount of debt and they have a great property. People just do not give them credit.
