In my humble opinion CUU mgt has Teck in an uncomfortable position which is very rare for a junior. Teck must be mindfull of a hostile takeover while the language of the CUU jv is absolutely not to their benefit. I suspect that the agreement has been veted by numerous lawyers on behalf of both parties, and as Vette states gives CUU's 25% absolutely %100 control over both Shaft Creek and the other properties. The size of the deposit/district may not be fully known for decades to come. Teck buys at E & E's price or faces the possibility of not meeting legally binding contract conditions...Fail, or risks the posibility of having a very large/major partner who assumes CUU's position and highly favorable contract. These are truely exciting times for us as the BFS accelerates Tecks obligations......Kerry/kcopper9
