"Money is for the EA."

Vette, is that for expenses already incurred? Assuming that Teck buys out Copper Fox in the next few days, weeks or (heaven forbid) months, wouldn't the cost of completing work on the Environmental Assessment become Teck's responsibility? Or is this just a smokescreen for whatever the real reason for the placement is? Or is something else entirely going on? I admit to an ignorance of how things work in this business so would appreciate some clarification.
