Ann: Encouraging Mineralisation From El Pilar Porphyry Deposit, page-56

plus another positive : Gold and Silver have rebounded quite strongly in about 36 hours closing out the trickle down of 5 - 7 trading days.

and the trigger: the risk of a financial system mini-failure in the UK (not some small developing country economy)

Explorers and Explorer / Developers with proven resources are where it's at, because without the hassles of AISC overheads and rising interest costs they're likely the benefit the most from increased precious metals prices once they come to mining stage.

also as a side note: over the last few days my market scanners had noticed price action on TTM and then late this afternoon (so 3 days with a public holiday to digest the news) there was a S3 Consortium "newsletter email" at 3:51pm about TTM's exploration looking likely to confirm a Copper-Gold porphyry in Ecuadaor with some long strike lengths of copper.

So firstly everyone can go see a pretty good 2 - 3 weeks of price movement in TTM already, but watch for what happens come Tuesday after the weight of newsletter subscribers get on-board, it'll be an interesting comparison for AAU presumably being close to a similar confirmation of likley porphyry too in El Pilar, but unfortunately I don't think AAU are in the S3 Consortium stable.
