You got that right. EE could leave at any time, albeit, that would crush the SP if he did, but he is waiting like all the rest. Elmer and others (like myself) aren't getting any younger while we wait, BUT, when I invested I did my DD and things have only proved out better than then, and Teck didn't back in without many people putting their heads together and agreeing IMHO that CUU can be a profitable mine. Drilling only menas they are looking at increasing that profit potential. Markets will rise and fall as will commodities, but look at prices today (in a depressed market?) and prices 5yrs and 10 yrs ago. Prices are likely to be much higher 5-10 yrs from now, and Teck knows that.
Also infrastructure, NTL, the port at Stewart are all there,or will be, when production begins. If all I have read about the "District" is proven from drilling, once production starts things will only get better as they go deeper. My reasoning for staying with this stock. Someone will buy our 25%, hopefully sooner than later. Koala
