Jan. 18 – Business Updates

I hope your New Year is off to a great start and I am happy to report that we continue to review and evaluate several scenarios that would bring revenue and profit into ECPN.

Over these past months, I made the commitment to make communications to shareholders a high priority. We have posted and emailed Weekly Updates for the past several months and I've had many shareholders express their appreciation. Interestingly, however, I have had about as many shareholders thank me for the weekly updates, as those who have said, "Thanks, but fewer would be just fine with me."

I expect these next few months to be busy ones - with mine visits from prospective partners, getting ore samples to potential buyers for testing, keeping our claim renewals on track, and working with our legal and finance advisors to evaluate the proposals that are under consideration that could get us operational … and profitable.

That said, our plan, for the short term, will be to move to Business Updates - with a minimum of one per month - for news and other updates until such time when we feel our shareholders are best served by more frequent communications. This move will also give us the opportunity to carefully consider what we can or must communicate, as dictated by laws governing publicly traded companies, and determine when more formal communications are required to meet uniform disclosure requirements as we find ourselves announcing and reporting material information.

Don't forget that you can always reach out to me directly at [email protected]

Once again, I thank you for your support and encouragement. Please stay tuned for more news and updates as 2022 unfolds. And keep thinking… GOLD!
