No question we want CUU sold first.

I am not enitrly sure what you meant by this: "Barrick and Teck have effectively spoken about their willingness to sink in capital for these rich, long life deposits". I realize that Galore is much too expensive to build anytime soon but do you think Donlin is in the same catagory?

What if Barricks bigest problem with Donlin is having Nova Gold as a partner? NG has essentially turned themselves into a one-trick pony and are at the mercy of the big players. I am sure Teck and Barrick are looking far into he future, but I am equally sure they have no problem using the current economic woes to manipulate deals to their benefit. It is unfortunate that companies like Barrick can do so much damage with a few printed words but it wouldn't be the first time a "partner" screwed their other partner(s).

It has been mentioned many times that Teck likes to partner on big projects. What if Barrick and Teck want to partner up and do Schaft Creek, Donlin and possibly Galore?
