Agree with most of your comments MAL but I would add into the equation OXR-it really is a copper company masquerading as a gold company.
AVL would be double if it was on the TSX- dont know if a dual listing will achieve quite as much as that. MRX appears at the right end of the SX_EW equation, but Tethyan-I have been to mines in Pakistan pre Sept 11, and they were scary enough then-certainly would not take the risk now, whether personally or financially.
