• It says in the NR under Mining.  The 21 year mine plan utilizes appox 60% of the mineral resource base.

Why would they do that?  Doesn't TECK value properties using ALL resources, like at QB2? Thomas-CUU

Remember this is a 43-101 report commissioned by CUU.   There are strict restrictions on what you can include in these reports. 

And, yes, Teck does perform their own valuation mathematics when speaking to their own projects.  Teck includes all resources including all of the inferred.  See their QB2 ROR notations.   

40% of our resources are completely ignored in the 43-101 and may be considered costly waste rock.     Despite this ''handicap'' in a comparison with QB2 our numbers are already way better than QB2's.
