Ann: Issue of Convertible Note , page-9

Not much from recent reports as to Ecuador goings on. Seems like any cos with mining interests there are still going through the machinations of trying to navigate the new mining laws, and get answers from the Ecuadorian Ministry of Non-Renewable Natural Resources and Ministry of Environment.
I wouldn't be holding my breath on Ecuador, although it would be good.

Chile is where it's at. Much more stable. And results from recent exploration looks pretty good. Just need a bit of JV action to get things moving.
