There are two tranches of listed options on ATV.

ATVO -- exercise price 18c, expiring October 30, 2009.

Extreme long shot to be worth anything at expiration, hence the lack of trades, and 10,000 offered at the Brisconnctions-like price of 0.001

ATVOA -- newly issued options that came as part of the recently concluded rights issue, exercise price of 8c, expiring 31 January 2011.

Strong chance, in my opinion, that these options will go in-the-money at some point.

I am a large holder of ATVOA.

Look to be good buying still at 1.8c, with the head-stock absorbing the 4c rights issue well, and looking good around 4.5c.

Quality company with quality management team that has an excellent track record of past success ... a real gold project in a politically stable and attractive mining jurisdiction (Nova Scotia, Canada) ... and ZERO hype.

They are just quietly going about the business of getting this gold out of the ground and creating value for themselves and shareholders.

Well worth a closer look.
