With due respect, can you tell me why you feel Teck needs to buy out Schaft Creek? I didn't think Teck needed to buyout Schaft Creek as they already have the port and the required lands.

They have 75% of the port and lands and, in Copper Fox, they have a partner who is not required to arrange any further funding. The next $57.5 million they spend is on their dime entirely, and they owe Copper Fox a further $40 million by the time the mine is built.

I think Teck likes to have a partner in most of their projects to share the costs and mitigate their finances so that they aren't on the hook for 100% of the funding while owning 75% of the project.
