Elmer told me less than 2 months ago that he would have to hire a company to sell this project if Teck walked.

I think we would have a third party review any sale or transaction - Teck or otherwise. Why can't we already have hired this third party? I actually asked about this question several months ago (What would they consist of, auditors, accountants, lawyers, analysts? Would this be a dedicated company or a bunch of free lancers? Would this be a team or a single individual? How much would this cost etc.)

I continually got the "Can't answer your question" type of response. I think in either case though, it's very well possible we may already have such a party - or we should have one retained if we're remotely prepared to discuss buyout or backin situations with Teck.
