Hi all,

I recently wrote to Steve Altmann concerning selling of shares by David Mason of ECU.Mr. Mason is a director of ECU, who at the time needed to sell and exercise some options that were of a timing matter. He also said that Mr.Mason is still amajor owner of stock in ECU. I researched this when I noticed someone had asked what the reason this had happened. I hope this answers anyones curiousty. I must say that I still don't understand why we are so undervalued since we have seen gold and silver steadily continue to be above there valued price since september, but I do believe we have a little way to go {or maybe sooner then we think] till prices get closer to the deappreciating dollar. I still belive 1000 is in the near future for gold, and silver should soon find its value appreciating.
