CUU own 25% Schaft Creek: proven/probable min. reserves/940.8m tonnes = 0.27% copper, 0.19 g/t gold, 0.018% moly and 1.72 g/t silver containing: 5.6b lbs copper, 5.8m ounces gold, 363.5m lbs moly and 51.7m ounces silver; (Recoverable CuEq 0.46%)
Reading thru the latest financials, two items that caught my eye were
"optimization studies completed to date are similar to that set out in the feasibility study on the Schaft Creek project prepared by Copper Fox in 2012"
and
"Teck as operator of the SCJV, has delivered a draft 2016 proposed program for the Schaft Creek project. The proposed program is under review and will be announced when approved by the Management Committee of the SCJV. "
So it seems that the optimization are very simular to our FS of 2012 and that we have received a draft of our 2016 program?
I am hoping that there was some leaks on the 2016 program that may have resulted from our recent run up with heavy volume. Let us hope that when it is announced that our share price will get back on track.
