Thanks for the info Greg. Yes, it would seem very unprofessional for any of them to talk about pricing at this point and like you everytime I have talked with either MS or ES they have been mum on mentioning any price figures or even giving hints for that matter.

The only exception I had to this was when I talked with Jason 3 years ago and he told me outright we would be fortunate to get over $2/sh. Unfortunately, I find Jason to be extremely unprofessional ( in another incident he was caught red handed using CUU`s email list for his own self promotion of other companies ) and imho he should have been let go a long time ago. He has done nothing to promote a professional image of this company and in fact has done more harm than good by expressing his own opinions of what we are worth in public. You wonder why our IR sucks? This is part of the reason and unfortunately I will have to lay this squarely on management for hiring him in the first place.

Anyways, I was just wondering why you get the feeling they want Teck to walk? Everytime I talked with management I got the impression they wanted Teck to take the whole thing and be done with it. As ES has said many times they are not miners but explorers.
