Here's my take on this...

Something just doesn't smell right! Teck delays this J/V meeting to tell us what? - We need another delay?? They could of told us that a month ago. Something more is going on behind the scenes than we are told. Not one word about the 171M tons of waste. Not one word about how far metallurgical work has been done and the possible improvements. Noda, zip back to zero information. Why couldn't Teck just phone us and say we're sorry we just need more time?

I'm thinking one of two possibilities here. First possibility, we were made an offer and management now is reviewing it by hiring an outside party to assess the value so they obviously can't say anything now. Or Teck is stalling on this because they cannot commit just right now due to finances and low metal prices. I certainly hope it is the first possibility. My 2 cents.
