I also am not expecting any news by Friday. I suspect we will still be waiting next week and the week after that. There are good reasons to expect Teck to back-in and good reasons to expect them to buy us out. Until then however I am not holding my breath. if Teck backs in for a % but doesn't buy us out I suspect we will have a difficult time selling to another company as I think that the company with the most to gain by buying us would be Teck. If we get involved in "mine building" with Teck I suspect we will not profit much for at least 4 more years. and that's a long wait. I know we're not in the mining business but if you can't sell what are your options.
I for one am hoping we sell the whole thing and soon - say 2 months.
