Why hold up our BFS to accomadate Teck, to include any or part of Galore? . That could only happen if we had a letter of intent for a take out of CUU, because this info is needed for a third party.

I have always believed that GC would always be part of the Shaft Creek infrastructure well down the road to offset the higher cost of their CAPEX. It is also feasable that at some point when Highland Valley's mine nears depletion that they could easily move a lot of the equipment and some infrastructure over to SC. Teck's control in these districts could lower their cost over time.

We give the appearance that teck is the only suitor for us, that could change very quickly once the BFS comes our or will it?

Elmer has always said that they had done enough,. The next owner can drill for ever, so i am not surprised to see the camps closed and drilling finished. He had told us so a few times.I would of persoally liked to have seen them drill several holes in the other claims outside of the area of interest, but believe me their is a reason why we are finished.

I invested in the pounds in the ground, the likely possibility that this would be a mine with all it has going for it. I have never been involved with a stock that had such strong management, largest insider ownership and most of all the leader keeps investing his money. It is all good but there are no gurantees. I must assume that ES has a plan and that i will give him as much time needed to complete and make us all some money. It is impossible to know what we dont know and there are reasons for it. When it is all done we could be saying " can you believe what they knew, but we didnt" WOW Thanks ES and EE for a job well done.
