Hello. IMO, the merger is something really good. We all knew, that ECU has lots of resources, but isn't really able to mine them, because they don't have the capacity to do so. With this merger, the equipment and capital that is needed, should be going into the wealthy-res projects, leading the two companies into a big prosperity. I expect the follow months to be good for the precious metals, and the mines will profit from it exponentially.
