Q: I understand your thoughts, but why would WCreek have done the Big Sky deal if they were going to merge with Tyhee in the near future?

A: Why not? It emphasizes the symbiosis of the two companies for the inevitable shareholders vote.

Q: Also wouldn't it be in B&S best interests financially to bring Tyhee to production as a go it alone "gold mine"? literally and figuratively

A: Only if they didn't own lower potential Williams Creek shares - but they do!
