If Teck exercises its back-in to Schaft Creek, in addition to providing $160M of capex, it would also undertake to arrange all production financing. Copper Fox would become an equal 25% minority partner. How valuable would be that undertaking to arrange production financing to Copper Fox ?

In contrast, Goldcorp has no back-in rights to Mt. Milligan nor to Berg. It's simply the majority shareholder of TRX who has already presented an approved feasibility study for Mt. Milligan. G has given no undertaking to arrange production financing, which, for Mt Milligan alone would be close to a billion,

Which is to be preferred ? I don't know, but I sure wish that TRX had the assurance that Copper Fox would have.
