CUU shifting tooNG moves towards it's Canadian holdings. But raising billions? So why not team up with teck on cuu then go find a buyer for NG. CUU would give them a ready project to sweeten the deal. I spent the weekend trying to size up the global state of copper and the money that chases it. BC was a banana republic in the eyes of mining ever since the NDP got in. (People will probably vote for poverty again because the Liberals bit the hand). Large tier mining has avoided us but now they are begining to see the light. The problem is that the GT (Golden Triangle) is disorganized. CUU and RG et al have probably been told to clean it up. Big players want it sorted out so they don't have to deal with a bunch of complicated deals.
The buyout is probably 30 days away if not currently being drafted.
