Yeh, I was born with a Yankee hat on my head and I went to school in NY. Ace is just a nickname from my best friends back home. Now I live in Colorado and I plan on making a trip up to see the Bates-Hunter Mine if I can link up with some management. The mine definitely has potential, no arguing that. But this dewatering process is going to take forever because the snow caps are melting now and the water levels are rising. It will take a huge operation to get down to where they need to be and I don't think one pump running 24/7 will accomplish that for several months. The company has good management in place though and they are working on other projects at the same time. I could see this one at $1 or more by the end of the year if they play their cards right, but for right now there are just too many others plays I want my money in (BIGN, LFWK, COHQ to name a few). Good Luck.
