Even a partial upgrade would help our cause.

It's not very sexy though announcing a triumphant technical drill hole. In our case, not bothering to announce it really.

That's got to be the problem with our stock price now because there's nothing dynamic or exciting to come until buyout. Nobody speculating can get behind the possibility that a technical drill did anything useful, let alone add a lot of value.

I always thought Teck would wait until they had to before paying out any more money to buy us out. Why bother if there is no pressure? I hope that they are improving the size of the potential mine for the EA, which they would need to do. If that's true, and so far it looks that way because they haven't submitted the EA, then maybe they would prefer to offer a buyout before they submit a much-improved plan. I'm not sure how much that would affect our stock price, but I'm counting on the optics of Teck applying for an EA with a bigger plan to make them want to buy us out first.
