It surprises me, to hear a statement like that from you Brundal .

I did not realise that you were like that either Louel....the entire sentence I wrote was.......

'we can also speculate of course whether or not Teck nudged, pushed, enticed Copper Fox in the direction of a barely profitable BFS'

that is not a statement of fact as you make it sound, just one possible scenario out of hundreds. The lack of information released by the company is what gives rise to all the confusion and speculation that abound on the message boards. Just because you believe that Copper Fox and Teck are above reproach does not make it so.

The main volume of waste rock is the over burden of the north pit slope that must be removed to access the deposit. Estimated time for the removal is 3.5years but some deposit mining is expected to begin in the final year.

-----------------

How much waste volume do you estimate is available to be proven up?

There has been great discussion here, and my eyes are opening up further for sure. I had thought there was a lot more to be positive about regarding SC.
Sadly, the upside I was expecting with further drilling the waste rock may really just be pie in the sky. Without that expected upside, the deposit is truly just OK...

Maybe nothing was sandbagged at all? Maybe this is why they are focusing on other projects - the BFS was correct and a sale isn't likely forthcoming?
