News: EAR Echo Resources requests a trading halt, page-17

My holdings come to around 1.3mill ... not a major holder but still enough skin in the company to want a fair outcome ...as to volume MKO last three months have seen some good volumes trade with many 1mill+ volume days the average for this period would have to be over 500k per day ....

As to the B.E deal the last time I talked with MR (couple months ago) he made the point it was only some minor issues that needed to see the B.E lease deal to be signed off...now as we know it now looks like they couldn't agree so maybe EAR merge is plan B as they know they will now need to raise 10's millions to get the project into production ...
