If Teck was not interested, CUU could have drilled those zones (gathered the ultimate proof) and sold to someone else who's willing to pay up, wait, and have a guaranteed 25% position in this district while Teck is financing Schaft Creek.

Hey I'm sure Anglo is now interested...they just lost a big stake in the Chile copper properties to Codelco:

And if not Anglo, how about Newmont...:

Alot of big players out there (Xstrata, Freeport, Glencore, Anta, etc) who would want to secure 25% of this Canadian District. This District speak svolume and many years of very profitable mining, 100+

An dthe list goes on. Just seems like CUU is getting what they want from Teck.
