Because if we get TECK shares it will be much better for us.

It would be just our luck to get Teck shares when they discontinue dividends! I agree though that Teck shares would be great.

Teck has to balance its available funds. I thought I just read they increased their line by another $billion. That seemed to indicated they have a purchase in mind. They also just had their precious credit rating lowered.

I'm not saying they couldn't also use SC, but if they buy a producing mine at this stage it might push our project out a little further. On the other hand they could find a partner for SC, and essentially get the partner to pay most of the costs.

I just think our stock price is rising because of the general sense in the market that copper is heading for a turnaround this year. There is more talk of $3 copper, and someone even said $4 in the next couple of years.
