Teck may be waiting for the Glencore deal to close, but time is their biggest enemy right now. The commodities copper and gold have risen significantly in recent months and with it the value of our 25%SC. Today's spot prices will be the LT prices in a few months. It is expected that copper and gold will rise further in the course of this year. especially if the FED cuts rates in July (if they do at all). So the longer wait could cost Teck millions of dollars. Teck wants to minimize future risks to avoid unexpected cost debacles like with QB and will analyze everything in detail to prevent future shit. This takes a lot of time. I think the significant rise in gold and copper is putting pressure on Teck and they want to speed up the process (finally) for that reason. JMO
