Summary from an email I got from Elmer:

- No more portions of the 2013 Feasibility study to be looked at by Teck.  Now the SCJV can move to looking at different options to move project forward.  That is the objective of 2018 work.  The project need to demonstrate that it warrants further investment.

- The 2017 work was a remodel of the 2012 resource estimate.  The waste referred to was contain within the reserve pit developed for the 2013 feasibility study.  Pits used to constrain resources are very different than pits used to constrain resources. The 2018 most likely will address this.  (possibly a typo above)

 - The SCJV needs to develop a scenario that demonstrates to Teck that it should invest their capital in this project.  The key will be to come up with an scenario that demonstrates to Teck, that Schaft Creek is where they should be putting their capital.  The work planned for 2018 is not of a technical nature.  The work is focused on what scenario is the best for the project and does that scenario warrant further investment.

- At this point, he's not sure if the scenarios will be shared with shareholders and the time required to complete them.  Teck is in the driver seat.

It's my understanding that Teck needs to provide an update to Liard Shareholders before year end.  Therefore, I don't expect anything related to the above "soon".
