With so many postings over the past few days (well, seemingly more than usual), i can only quickly scan, so apologize if this has been brought up.

1. Some posters have speculated about negotiations delaying BFS to Teck, how can that be if McDonald has sold some shares?

2. Last year I stated my belief that delays on RE and BFS were related to Teck stall tactics to allow more time to re-review their Galore investment and any possible synergies with Schaft Creek. Then Nova Gold announces they desire to divest Galore for using dollars on Alaska project - BAM, another reason for Teck to stall?

I realize Elmer has emphatically said Teck has done no such thing - and while in my two conversations with Elmer, I find him to be sincere and down-to-earth, i also realize he has a business to run, and can only reveal so much.

just my belief - more teck stalling.

cheers
