RE:Teck loves ZincYes - Teck love zinc.
Maybe they will look at AZ ? Not sure though. Lots of questions on metallurgy, also Teck doesn't like to "overpay" for anything.
Teck (as well as Korea Zinc and a large State Owned Enterprise - Tongling Nonferrous Metals) are already shareholders of Canada Zinc Metals (CZX). Teck also has a big zinc deposit right next to CZX's deposit. And Teck has a zinc smelter close by as well....you can do the math....
https://www.streetwisereports.com/pub/na/canada-zinc-right-time-right-metal I actually still own a few shares of AZ (10,000). But have a much bigger investment in CZX. More and more it is being recognized as high quality that is currently undervalued (so a lot of upside still). Don't like the downdraft on AZ price over the past week...hoping it stablilizes. But as I said earlier - hard to justify a market cap of almost $700 million given the stage the deposit is at. Hopefully they can continue with the big promotion that's gotten it to these levels.
