Seems they don't think they need to spend money anymore they or someone has all the info they need.

The progrtam was Magnetics, Titan, Mira, a bit of drilling. And they completed their program.

Now just wait for Feasibility.

And remember Providence:

But, what ultimately can’t be missed in this story is the price paid by Teck to acquire their position. Last May when the ball began to roll on the Eagle Plains/Providence JV, Providence stock was languishing at a $0.10 level. By the first week of December, when drilling updates started to pop up through favourable press releases, the stock surged to $2.70 from the $0.37 level it was at to end November. That’s a massive jump, with the lowest drop since being a dip to $1.60 prior to Christmas. Today, the stock is trading at just under $2.
Thus the implication given by Teck’s payment of $4 for a $2 stock proves that Teck has seen enough data to warrant the confidence us outsiders only could previously speculate up to this point.
