Call the office to confirm, but that's what I got out of my conversation.

Understanding the quality of the mineralization can influence many paramters.

• grades
• recoveries
• mill availability

If you have better grades and better recoveries, you have to move less waste around, which improves the strip ratio, lowers the cost, etc.  Everything is linked together.

I see this as Teck doing their due diligence, since most of the previous work was done by Copper Fox with "older" technology.

IMO.
