I wouldn't expect Teck to tell us anything. It isn't material to them I don't think. It isn't going to effect anyone's decisions to buy or sell Teck shares.
But, this would be really important information for Copper Fox and would likely effect someone's decisions on CUU shares. Maybe my expectations are unreasonable?
I don't think Teck could be spending a lot more (25 million?) on the JV properties without their partner knowing? I assume management knew long ago as this was apparently spent back in 2013? I don't know what actual responsibilities they have to their shareholders regarding the release of relevant info, but I do wish this was released a lot sooner...
The flip side of all this is we could be interpreting this all wrong way and nothing has changed except for some creative packaging? Clear as mud as Golfyeti said...
I don't think your expectations are unreasonable.
It is important to Copper Fox and that is why any information coming out of JV is really important.
Copper Fox will definitely want to release the results of the optimization studies to the public.
