foxfan,

Although I would really like a "liquidity event," if they can't get a reasonable price I also wouldn't mind holding on to the 25%. But Teck has to provide financing if they back in for 75%, so what would they do to get the other 15% from us? If we just let them finance, then pay back from the copper when the mine starts, then after 4 years of building, and maybe another 4 years of paying off, we just collect 25% of the profits. OK, maybe they negotiate more time for building, but we should get something for that, not give them something.
