Why would Teck walk when they can get 10 billion lbs of copper for 4 x expenses, so what if they have a little junior still holding 25%. Let us sell ourselves to someone else and maybe Teck buys our agreement out.

It is good to see this board more realistic but we still got a big upside. Just Teck taking a % shows we are going to be a mine, just do 25% of production. If Teck did walk we would be sold in a heartbeat. I do not get the 2 years to prove some more up stuff--I think that is just a spin to make us scared of Teck walking.

I was planning to be out of this months ago and the just around the corner stuff has limited trading. Most of us really do not have much choice but to stay till the end.

Question for Elmer -how many other interested parties has he got in the wings and is he working actively to keep them informed
