I hope I'm wrong, but IMO, it's way too early to expect any earth shattering news. The JV management commitee was, according to Elmer, to meet mid January. I don't expect any news from it.

The good stuff is, whatever goes on at that meeting may help to decide what plans they have agreed to for 2014. The JV agreement states, the operator must disclose the development plans, for the year, by March 1. Teck has a quarterly or year end, ( not sure which ) in Feb. so I expect something substantial then.

now it's absolutely speculative, but I've been trying to understand why CUU gave 11 million dollars back to the shareholders when, if used to pick up some of the incredible bargains in the junior sector, could have added considerable value, IMO.

I know it's far out, but could it have been to place cash in the hands of certain principals of the co. to be used when the share price needs to be elevated. probably wishful thinking.

looking forward to the feb. meeting......chunky
