What's that saying from Forrest Gump? "...stupid is as stupid does"
Teck: you just lost the rights to a HUGE deposit for a mere $20 million (...a "rounding error" on your balance sheet).
(I'll be sending Don Lindsay a bottle of champagne if things go right, for making one of the dumbest decisions of his career. Even if Teck didn't want to see this thing through, they should have at least held-on to a portion and then marketed it to someone else later on).
