It was Coventree.
globeinvestor lists it as COF-T so i assumed it was ok. And actually, the TSX website seems to have it on the Toronto exchange - but I'll keep looking cuz frankly, i'm not really confident of my knowledge of the tsx
if i must replace it, i'll do so with allied nevada gold - that's on the TSX site too.
