| Comment | 6.050 | Peter Hodson | Fabulous gold mine potential in Ecuador. Believes management wanted to get the mine off the ground, so Kinross (K-T) has made an agreement to option the company. Believes they can work with the Ecuadorian government. | 2008-08-27 | |
| TOP PICK | 5.920 | Michael Smedley | Generally regarded as the very best gold resource for world development. Kinross (K-T) has made an agreed bid for it. The Ecuadorian government will be coming on with a drafted improvement of a mandate for new mining laws. | 2008-08-20 | |
| HOLD | 5.380 | Jean-Francois Tardif | Best assets. To be producing in the future. Own almost 10 million oz in the ground reasonable grade. Gov’t not allowing production for 6 months. | 2008-06-23 | |

| VAGUE | 9.030 | Hugh Cleland, CFA | One of the best deposits in the world. In Ecuador and has political issues. Apparently the government and agencies are moving in the right direction. Potentially undervalued. Large risk. | 2008-03-31 | |
| TOP PICK | 8.960 | Jean-Francois Tardif | Has a bright future. Is in Ecuador, has political issues. The politics should be fine. Worth multiple times what it’s trading at. | 2008-03-24 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 9.460 | Bill Belovay | (A Top Pick Feb 15/07. Up 37%.) Hoping for an aggressive buyout sometime this year. Has been languishing for too long. In a trading range for about 2.5 years. This means that accumulation is taking place. | 2008-03-13 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 8.230 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | (A Top Pick Apr 20/07. Down 6.3 %.) Probably the best gold discovery of this cycle. He is comfortable in investing in Ecuador. Probably over 13.7 million ounces at a really good grade. | 2008-01-03 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 7.450 | Brendan Kyne | (A Top Pick Apr 11/07. Down 3.4%.) Huge gold discovery in Ecuador. 15 to 18 million high-grade ounces. Will get acquired at some point. Still likes. | 2007-12-17 | |

| BUY | 9.800 | Michael Smedley | There has been a little worry that the Ecuadorian government might become a little more difficult, but hasn't heard of any big upsets occurring in this stock. Sits on one of the best gold discoveries in the past 10 years. Could offset with a good Canadian gold stock. | 2007-10-31 | |
| BUY | 9.080 | Peter Hodson | Stock is acting better. Believes market is appreciating it more. They have the biggest deposits in the world over the last 20 years. | 2007-10-15 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 7.400 | Brendan Kyne | (A Top Pick March 28/07. No Change.) Sold his holdings because of uncertain political moves in Ecuador. Expect the price off gold will start to pull this stock up higher. Still a Hold. | 2007-09-24 | |
| HOLD | 7.580 | Peter Hodson | Past few months, gold stocks have been dramatically under-performing. Starting to see good movement in gold. Political problems in Ecuador will get resolved. Fabulous asset. | 2007-09-20 | |
| HOLD | 7.580 | Paul Macdonald | High political risk, in Ecuador. Likes stock. 10-11 million ounces of resources. Hold if you can tolerate risk. Should buy stock before “Resource Update” in event that there are good surprises. | 2007-09-18 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 6.900 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | (A Top Pick Oct 4/06. Down .05%.) Ecuador. Still loves it. One of the best gold discoveries of this cycle. Resource should be coming out and believes it will be in excess of 10 million ounces in all categories. Undervalued. | 2007-09-06 | |
| BUY | 6.440 | Greg A. Taylor, CFA, BBA | A fantastic company in the junior golds. Found a very large gold deposit in Ecuador. Trading at a discount because of its location. Probable takeover in the next few years. | 2007-08-20 | |
| BUY | 6.370 | Peter Hodson | Bought some today. World class asset. Thinks that gold should be skyrocketing, it's not. | 2007-08-17 | |
| Comment | 7.510 | Michael Smedley | An extraordinarily high-grade gold discovery in Ecuador. There is country risk and he feels his company sold their holdings because of this. | 2007-08-03 | |
| BUY | 7.370 | Bill Carrigan | Thinks it is forming a huge symmetrical triangle. Ultimately, this is bullish. Last week's market correction did not seem to affect the stock. Thinks it will ultimately break out. | 2007-07-30 | |
| BUY | 7.320 | Jean-Francois Tardif | Has a sizable, real gold deposit in Ecuador. Very confidant that this deposit will go to production. Not very concerned about the politics. | 2007-07-16 | |
| Comment | 28.610 | Peter Hodson | Splitting 4 for 1, which might be a little bit excessive. Really good gold deposit that they continue to expand. Grades are there and the assets are world class, but in the wrong country. Not worried about the political scene, but is worried about how the market feels about it. | 2007-07-05 | |
| TOP PICK | 27.650 | Bill Belovay | Large gold deposit in Ecuador. After a 77 holes and have only released 64 assays so there's a whole host more coming up. | 2007-07-03 | |
| BUY | 26.680 | Lesley Marks | Has been very volatile with respect to the political situation. Long-term, they will probably be taken out. Drill results look very positive. | 2007-06-26 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 27.200 | Brendan Kyne | (A Top Pick Mar 28/07. Down 12%.) Large gold deposit. Political situation in Ecuador is questionable. | 2007-06-25 | |
| BUY | 28.320 | Jean-Francois Tardif | Company is working on the 4301 and should have results in the next few weeks. Expects the numbers will be substantial. Very good grade and massive size. Market is nervous about Ecuador politics. | 2007-06-21 | |
| TOP PICK | 27.230 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | Loves this one.
They've made a significant discovery. North of 10 million ounces.
Very undervalued.
Political risks are dropping.
Paid around $20 per share. | 2007-06-14 | |
| BUY | 28.770 | Bill Harris, CFA | Worth $70 per share.
An incredibly valuable resource.
Very speculative, because it's in Equidor. If you can get over that, then buy it. | 2007-05-31 | |
| BUY | 31.400 | Michael Smedley | Extraordinarily high grade of gold discovery in Ecuador. The Ecuadorian government made an odd announcement that it would like to hold 60%-70% of the profits of resource companies. 5% down today, which is probably a great opportunity for those prepared to take a risk. | 2007-05-25 | |
| TOP PICK | 32.900 | Jean-Francois Tardif | Lots of news coming up. High quality gold discovery. Makes a lot of sense for very large gold companies to take it over. | 2007-05-22 | |
| HOLD | 32.500 | Peter Grandich | If the market concerns about political risks on Ecuador disappear, this gold stock can go a lot higher. No longer cheap. If you are in it, use tight Stops. | 2007-05-11 | |
| TOP PICK | 32.370 | Brendan Kyne | (A Top Pick Jan 29/07. Up 12%.) Largest gold discovery of the cycle. Expecting the final reserve update in July. Chilean political situation did not turn out as bad as expected. Probable takeover candidate by the end of year. | 2007-05-10 | |
| Comment | 33.390 | Bruce Campbell | An Ecuadorian gold deposit. Stock is down because of geopolitical concerns. A senior company could buy it and it would be a minor part of their holdings. | 2007-05-09 | |
| SELL | 34.200 | Alex Ruus | One of the largest gold findings in the world. Concerned about the Ecuadorian politics. | 2007-05-07 | |
| DON'T BUY | 33.810 | Peter Brieger | Doesn't like the political risk in Peru. | 2007-05-02 | |
| TOP PICK | 35.100 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | Ecuador. One of the best gold discoveries of the cycle. | 2007-04-20 | |
| TOP PICK | 32.350 | Brendan Kyne | Unbelievable gold discovery in Ecuador about a year ago. High grades and width and depths were so enormous and consistent that it became the discovery of the cycle. Expected to be a takeout this year. | 2007-04-11 | |
| TOP PICK | 31.700 | Jean-Francois Tardif | Gold company. Massive high-grade gold deposit in Ecuador that can be mined open pit. | 2007-04-10 | |
| BUY | 30.840 | John Embry | Recent drilling results were spectacular. A massive ore body. Expect there will be a resource estimate before the year is out. Not concerned about the Ecuadorian aspect. | 2007-04-03 | |
| TOP PICK | 31.800 | Brendan Kyne | (A Top Pick Jan 29/07. Up 26%.) Thinks it is The gold discovery of the cycle. Has great confidence that this company will be acquired. | 2007-03-28 | |
| HOLD | 24.800 | Michael Smedley | Has one of the greatest grade gold discoveries in the last 10 years. It is reasonable to speculate that it gets taken out. Politics could be a question. | 2007-03-23 | |
| BUY | 24.800 | Jean-Francois Tardif | Will probably be a takeover within 2 years. They have made probably the most important gold discovery in the last 10-20 years. A lot of potential upside. | 2007-03-13 | |
| DON'T BUY | 26.560 | Greg McCoach | Their deposit in Ecuador is truly one of the world-class situations. Share prices run up tremendously. Politics is a major question. Some of the countries in South America seem to be moving towards nationalization. There are some risks buying this stock at this price. | 2007-03-08 | |
| Comment | 27.400 | Lawrence Roulston | Still upside potential in one analyst’s mind. Aren't many gold deposits of this size and quality, so will probably be a take out. | 2007-03-07 | |
| TOP PICK | 26.880 | Bill Belovay | Being beleaguered at the moment with Ecuadorian political problems. He is not too concerned with the politics and the price is good. Most holes they are drilling are coming up with outstanding results. Could be a takeover. | 2007-02-15 | |
| DON'T BUY | 27.000 | Stephen Carlin | An unbelievable exploration project in Ecuador. A small company and probably doesn't want to develop the discovery on their own but market cap is such that it is difficult for a mid-cap company to come in. Also political concerns. Valuation is a little expensive. | 2007-02-14 | |
| TOP PICK | 25.000 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | Oversold on fears of Ecuador nationalizing mines. A great buy. Have a 7 million oz. discovery at least. Will eventually be taken over. | 2007-02-12 | |
| TOP PICK | 29.380 | Brendan Kyne | Has consolidated for the last 3.5 months and really hasn't done that much. Found a gold deposit in Ecuador that is the biggest discovery in the last 15 years. Have drilled up about 11 million oz. of high-grade gold to date. | 2007-01-29 | |
| Comment | 29.380 | Michael Sprung | This is not the kind of company he would normally invest in as they are primarily an exploration company. The run-up that they had a little while ago was the result of some drill holes that had some promise. They are a long ways from having production and revenues. | 2007-01-29 | |
| BUY | 28.650 | Peter Grandich | This is one of the best deposits in a long time. The problem lies in location. There is more concern that Ecuador will become the next Venezuela. The price drop warrants the risk. | 2007-01-26 | |
| Comment | 31.890 | Paul VanEeden | He made an estimate and breaking the company up into a high-grade section and low-grade section, calculated that it could fit somewhere between $40-$60. The complicating factor is Ecuadorian politics which is a bit of an uncertainty. | 2007-01-16 | |
| TOP PICK | 30.450 | Jean-Francois Tardif | A very special situation. They found a gold deposit, of what he thinks is 10 million oz. Probably the best discovery in more than 10 years. There is a good chance this company will be taken over before the year-end, and could be at between $45 and $75. | 2007-01-10 | |
| BUY | 28.460 | Kyle McKay | The best-performing gold company in Canada last year. Owns a large property and Ecuador. The recent slide is because of the November election results. Expects more frequent drill results. Could be significant upside. | 2007-01-08 | |
| TOP PICK | 31.500 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | One of the best gold discoveries in this entire cycle. It’s in Ecuador and there is so much potential there. Already has a market cap of about $1 billion. | 2007-01-02 | |
| BUY | 31.050 | Peter Hodson | A transitional from a penny stock to quite a big company, so a lot of investors have moved out to find the next BIG ONE. Results are quite good and the deposit is getting bigger and bigger. Expects the company to get taken over in the $40-$50 range. | 2006-12-28 | |
| DON'T BUY | 30.100 | Paul VanEeden | It was an exploration story that made a phenomenal discovery and is now a development story. Ecuador’s elections results concerned the market, so the stock dropped. Also, Corriente Resources (CTQ-T) has a deposit about 20 miles away and they’ve recently seen an increase in guerrilla activity | 2006-12-13 | |
| BUY | 32.010 | Bill Belovay | Recent drop was due to the Ecuadorian election. The winner may have socialist leanings, but is an US educated economist, so doesn't expect too much of problem. A buying opportunity. | 2006-11-29 | |
| BUY | 30.400 | Michael Smedley | A gold project located in Ecuador. It is an enormous grade. Probably the best gold find in the world in the last 10/15 years. Probably is going higher. Probably a takeover target. | 2006-10-19 | |
| TOP PICK | 25.500 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | An exciting play in Ecuador. Could potentially double from here. A lot of sources of upside here. | 2006-10-04 | |
| SELL | 29.940 | Peter Grandich | Fanastic project. Has done well.( up $30.00 in the last 6 months) If you own good time to sell, but believes it will continue to make profits. | 2006-09-22 | |
| Comment | 27.850 | Veronika Hirsch | The general consensus is that they have 8.5 million ounces of gold, which is an ore body that any major company would be interested in. It's an exploration play and she can’t give any advice on how to play an exploration play. Expect they will be a takeover in the next 6 months. | 2006-08-29 | |
| BUY | 29.900 | Peter Hodson | Today 7 million shares come free and clear because of financing 4 months ago, so a potential overhang of 7 million shares is hitting the stock. It has gone up $6 in the last 3 days which tells you people don't care about the 7 million shares. Probably the best gold discovery in the last 20 years. | 2006-08-28 | |
| BUY | 22.800 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | Made an exciting discovery in Ecuador that has 800 metres of strike. Looks like at least 150 metres vertical extent with width still to be determined. Good management. | 2006-07-31 | |
| DON'T BUY | 19.900 | Paul VanEeden | Made a phenomenal discovery. On the last set of drill results, sold his holdings as the grade might diminish to the north and might not increase at depth. Too early to tell. Easy money has been made. | 2006-07-19 | |
| TOP PICK | 19.480 | Peter Hodson | They have a massive gold discovery in Ecuador. They don't know how big it is. They keep drilling and keep coming up with these monster holes. Good takeover target. | 2006-07-11 | |
| DON'T BUY | 18.570 | Peter Grandich | Tremendous discovery. Looks like a lot more is going to be there but it looks like the stock is ahead of itself. | 2006-06-26 | |
| TOP PICK | 21.500 | Michael Smedley | Has a big find in gold. Analysis shows there might be 7 grams a ton. Could be a takeout in a couple of months. | 2006-06-16 | |
| HOLD | 19.500 | John Embry | Project in Ecuador. They hit some spectacular holes. A major find which is very exciting. Expect it will be a takeout candidate. | 2006-06-13 | |
| HOLD | 14.140 | Jean-Francois Tardif | Stock spiked last week on some amazing drilling results of very good quality gold. When a stock spikes like this, it can be very volatile in the short-term. | 2006-06-05 | |
| BUY | 0.810 | John Embry | (Owns 10% of the company.) A very propsective land mass down in Equador. The 2 geologists on contract are very enthusiastic with what they see, but at this point, it is still inconclusive. The stock is very cheap, so you shouldn't lose any money. | 2005-08-23 | |
| BUY | 0.440 | John Embry | An excellent exploration play in Ecuador. They put together a terrific land package. Stock has been horrible. Trading for not a whole lot above its cash in the till. A very good speculation. | 2005-05-26 | |
| STRONG BUY | 0.890 | John Embry | Believes in it. HAve a land package on the Ecqadorian/Peruvian border. Believes there is a lot of gold in this area. Extremely prospective. | 2004-11-01 | |
| TOP PICK | 0.910 | John Embry | Has a large property package on Equador/Peru border. Inexpensive. Thinly traded. | 2003-06-11 | |
