Re: This call has inspired very little confidence and only resulted in pushing the share price further down. I'm beginning to think this is going to be many more months of waiting. Sigh

I would agree. If I heard him right - He stated that he expected that until the economics of the mine and/or metal prices improve, he didn't expect any action around offers for a year or so.

So I agree that it positive that Teck has come aboard but I fear we still have a long road ahead of us. However, I do believe that road ahead look very good.
