"Another step towards CCU being Australia's newest pure-play silver miner (with first silver pour forecast for December this year)."
You are not quite correct with that statement.
Alcyone Resources - ASX code AYN are currently processing their first silver & are planning to be pouring the first silver bars in the last week of May 2011....which is right now.
This first pour is a plant start up/trial & and they confirmed approx 2 weeks ago that the plant will be up & running & in full production mode in September 2011.
Here is the link to the ASX announcement; http://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20110517/pdf/41yppb9bwpfyfq.pdf
Alcyones activities make it 6 months ahead of CCU.
For the record I hold both AYN & CCU shares so there is no ramping or favourtism from me on this issue....just setting the record straight.
