Copper is now over $3 a pound and oil is up 20% or around 10 bucks a barrel in just the last month. It looks like Teck's oil sands project will be producing quite a bit of cash at just the right time. I sure hope Teck is going to use their new found wealth to make a positive decision on finally getting Schaft Creek on the map. The one thing I worry about is the new NDP/Green Party government. The last time the NDP were governing in BC they sent "big business" away in droves with their unfair taxes and did nothing whatsoever for the mining sector. Now they have added the Green Party to the mix. Always something I guess...
