Agree, but somebody needs to put +3 billions to make it happen.
You are looking at it all wrong. It's $4 billion to make it happen and its still wildly profitable at that cost.
Before allocation for overruns, the 2012 Schaft Creek Feasibility Study showed a capital cost of $2.8 Billion. It should be even less than that now with the cost cutting results of a near 7 years of optimizations.
The other $1.2 Billion (minimum) goes to buy out Copper Fox for taking all the real risks and then exceeding their obligations in delivering on a Bankable FS silver platter a very profitable and completely de-risked mine including a mining district in a safe jurisdiction.
Plus we had to needlessly endure 7 years of Teck abuse and lost revenues from earlier production or lost opportunity cost from being stuck in a worthless stock.
