We're back to speculating, as usual, but a deal would flow beautifully if Teck sold 40% to a partner of choice while simultainously buying our 25% and kept all the Liard shares.

If the recent drilling can prove up a much larger pit, or an area of multiple minable resources it may justify a price acceptable to the partner and EE.

On the basis of that thinking I started investing my dividends today in the .50-51 cent range.

I seems highly improbable that we'll go much lower from this point, but I've been wrong before in that regard, and more than a few times......chunky
