I think ARU is just posturing to get the FDN deposit sold as soon as they make a deal with the government of Ecuador. They are just doing the infill drilling to prove up a better resource/reserve and are planning for the decline ...all of which needs to be done by the "Major" who buys the FDN.

At this stage I doubt that a stock issue would be made but I do think ARU has probably talked to lenders about establishing a line of credit for working capital if need be. With what they have proven up now a line of credit ( which is anti dilutive to stockholders) should be easy to obtain.

On several occasions Marla has said that getting financing is not a problem as many institutions want to be a part of this discovery and would be willing to lend.
