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%)
We did provide Teck with a positive FS, but if my previous rough calculation is somewhat accurate, "their" portion of the project did not seem to generate much buffer for phase 1. Our 25% seems more lucrative and with no risk.
Sometimes, I'm wondering if it was not strategic to provide them something very limit and hope they will not take the 75%.
The revised FS should improve Teck numbers significantly and give them a solid case to invest in Schaft Creek phase 1. IMO.
