Q: Good Day,

Assuming that one holds the view that the junior mining space will see greater activity in the next few months/years, and assuming that you do not wish to hold individual positions, but would rather have broader exposure to the sector in general, is there any CDN vehicle other than ZJG that you would recommend?

Thanks

Q: Hello all at 5i,

Could you comment on the message that the strategic review sends out - "We the management have little faith in our own business model" is the message I hear. I know that you believe there is still value in the underlying assets and I too am of that opinion. I will benefit from your more considered views.

Thanks
Mike

Q: Re: your response to Peter
You mentioned that EFN was up 4% on US trading today. The only ticker I find for EFN in the US is ELEEF, and according to both iTrade and otcmarkets.com, there was no trading volume today. Is there another EFN-equivalent ticker outside of Canada?
