Keeping in mind that Don Lindsay is a banker, it is worth noting that bankers by nature are frugal as they come. I agree with HogHead that 2.5M is encouraging and it is awesome that Teck is spending this cash while we get to sit back and watch the project optimization.

There is a good old Newfoundland expression, "It's better to be looked over than overlooked." It all bodes well for pointing us in the right direction of what Teck's true intention. These little clues are all we can go on as Teck tends to be quite circumspect in their business practices.

As for Van Dyke, it will be interesting to watch this unfold.

Cautiously optimistic, SF
