do you really think they are still "reviewing" a BFS that is 34-months in the making, that is probably 99% done since 6 months ago, and that is now 8 weeks past the start of the 1-to-2-week-long peer reviews?

Nah, we are being strung along and now we get complete silence about the BFS and what is really going on. Something tells me that a "hand shake" deal and 'public disclosure timeline' was struck long ago. It's not the amount of time that makes a BFS "right the first time", its the level of experts that contribute to it and we have had only top notch firms and experts. The BFS was close-enough done 6 months ago imo to strike a deal and part of that deal was to slow things down, let the SP run up in late 2012 (to avert tck. shareholder scrutiny) and close the deal in 2013. JMHO

That makes possible sense...but heres anouther one. Let say that Cuu wanted to give the BFS 6 or 8 months ago....Teck says PLEASE NO, .....heres what we`ll do. I`ll make you a board member of the Laird Board....We ( TECK) we need some time to deal with Galore Creek and wait till the NTL gets closer to us for power and we`ll get the road under construction too. Please Elmer can you wait......Elemer says OK but whats in it for us ( CUU)...well how about we`ll (TECK) trade some shares because were going to buy some back anyways from the market, cause we got billions to buy back....give you 7 bucks a share on top....if you can just wait a bit till we get our affairs in order. Also we will make that deal as long as we can get some outside company`s to look at the BFS too, this will also burn some more time.....

Don`t mean that this happened but who knows could have??
