CUU own 25% Schaft Creek: proven/probable min. reserves/940.8m tonnes = 0.27% copper, 0.19 g/t gold, 0.018% moly and 1.72 g/t silver containing: 5.6b lbs copper, 5.8m ounces gold, 363.5m lbs moly and 51.7m ounces silver; (Recoverable CuEq 0.46%)
We assume more risk to derisk the project. We have all the inroads to get the permits in place. It makes sense for us to complete the EA and Teck may want this. They may also want us to bring the partner to them. So they give us the cash to prove it all up for some % greater than what we have. Let's say they give us another 5%. Our portion proven would be the cherry pick for another major. I suspect Teck would trade a bigger % for derisking but they would also want the Liard shares. That's why I think a more realistic 40% of the deposit. Those royalty shares are very valuable. Royal Gold wants them.
