if the other company paid whatever to CUU ... could CUU still do their own production and therefore realize that gold ... No, if Teck buys back in on the project, they will be partners on whatever comes out of the Schaft Creek project. It would be very nice for CUU to have a major like Teck as a partner, though Teck will likely try to buy CUU out instead, IMO.

John CUU would have 25% ownership and would receive huge profit assuming decent metals prices, as this would be about a 50,000T/da operation, a real biggie mine. But Teck would not likely want to be at the table with little CUU long term on this (perhaps 50 yr mine life) project. So would need to pay what the holders would accept, to own it all. This back-in is not a negative, Teck is needed to finance and operate. CUU is providing its expertise in efficiently bringing the deposit through fease. And Teck can make it happen from there. When Teck gave this option around 2001 the deposit had zero value at 60 copper, so CUU was nervy and agressive in even making the deal. (It was tough raising cash at first, I got it the 20 PP initially). And deserving of the benefit they are now just beginning to receive. We have a ways to go yet, or CUU would be much higher IMO.
