. . . and yet those Chinese and Koreans have been phoning Elmer for a year or more to understand the contract with Teck and what is available for sale at what point in time. CIC already owns 17% of Teck and therefore would become an owner of our non-producer copper company when Teck opts in for whatever percentage.

I really don't think it is possible to know the investing intentions of the entire Chinese investment funds without working closely alongside them for many years. Much like Teck has done.
