"Analysts say debt-burdened Glencore needs Xstrata for its cash-generating portfolio of long-life mines in safe jurisdictions."

Just a little snipit out of an article from the Globe talking about the Mega Merger and that Glencore needs long life mines in safe jurisdictions. Is that not what we have? A district lets say of possible mutiple areas holding similar numbers to shaft creek in a SAFE mining jurisdiction Canada. Teck has no option here and it will be easy for them to find a partner to go with them. Perhaps Xstrata was their partner and they said wait until our Glencore deal is done and then we will chat. Xstrata owns 10 to 15 % of Liard no?
