Question
Would you have any information on Silver Maque?

Answer
John, from the information I have available, Silvermaque Mining did a 1 for 4 reverse and became Geomaque, which later amalgamated with other companies to form Defiance Mining on the basis of 1 Defiance share for every 3.52 shares of Geomaque. Defiance was later acquired by Rio Narcea on the basis of 1 Rio share for every 5.25 Defiance shares. Rio was acquired by Lundin Mining in 2005 on the basis of $5.50 cash per share.
