And if Teck left us swinging in the wind for so long, I imagine other majors would treat us just the same. CUU would have a long road ahead of it, drilling and updating the FS. Meanwhile the other big boys would be watching for significant signals before moving on something that Teck didn't want with all of Teck's advantages, as RT points out.

If things go this route, my prediction would be the same as Clubber Lang's: Pain!
