Talking Sense,
On the basis that today's RNS states "Next Steps; Given these highly encouraging results, ECR will now move to the next stage of metallurgical test" So when you say "We have gone straight in with the pilot plants." I'm not sure where you get that from unless of course you mean that trommel on a trailer get up, do you mean that? It would be pushing it to say a trommel on a trailer is a "pilot plant".
".......metallurgy testing to identify the best method of extraction.....confirm the commercial viability..... financing.....plan for production will be produced. I think the BOD have been pretty clear in interviews" Can anyone point us to an interview where ECR have stated categorically this, not inferred it but stated it? I would be interested to listen to that, as I'm sure a lot of others would be.
Yep, I thought it was crazy for ECR to get all excited about the best Sb %ages being over 100m under the ground. Low and behold the gold is 2-4m down, weird that, right??? Yep a lot cheaper to dig up 2-4m of overburden than over 100m, but they don't have a plan to dig a 30cm down let alone 4m.
The only thing that is important today re: today's ECR RNS is how the market reacted. Up 1.89%. My opinion is that more and more people are seeing through these mediocre results being talked up again and again, all the tweeting and retweeting by the usual accounts, all the interviews with ECRs non-executive Director. Then on to the next RNS of mediocre results and so the cycle of hype repeats. Investors are tired of it, are bored of it, they're not falling for it. No one wants to get caught on ECR twitter spike.
We are into August, with no revenue and a heck of a lot of testing being undertaken across multiple sites, all of which is costing ECR. You figure out, whilst ECR say they're funded for activities in 2024, NOT that they are funded for all of 2024, you figure out when the next placing will take place. ECR will say that they are explorers and that is what explorers do, dilute and then on they go again. I don't believe ECR are any different.
