Timing: there isn't enough time to get drill results before feasibility. Once feasibility is out the project is more or less defined and the Teck decision is on. They need to have the value assessed and new results can't keep getting incorporated on the fly, it seems. There may be a sense that the Teck decision will come swiftly
Why not drill our 100% properties then? It's possible they're relocating, but I feel like they would have mentioned that, probably not in a NR but to people calling/E-mailing and asking. Even outside of that - would Teck not still have to pay 4x expenditures - even if the information added isn't incorporated? It would still qualify - no? If that's the case, then there's still no reason to stop, unless requested to do so.
Am I missing something?
