You think Teck is "starving" the junior just to save millions when SC can bring in billions over the years? lol

 From what I can tell in the past years on what Teck wants to do with their junior partner and other copper assets.

Catalyst Copper @ la verde...they were not interested, did not opt in for more ownership in the asset.  Remained a small partner there.  Now La Verde is under Solaris.

AQM Copper @ zafranal...Teck took interest in the mine enough they bought out AQM.  Yes value wasn't there but AQM had their issues to remain a partner because they cannot get funding.
