RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:TEN DRILL RIGS this yearMy understanding is that the drilling SEA did on Treaty Creek was for geotechnical data only, to assess the competence of the rock for tunnels. The core went to TUD for assaying. SEA's only concern is if a TUD deposit looks like it could be economic in which case they say they will change the tunnel route to avoid it. TUD is years away from demonstrating that anything they have is economic.
TUD has an exploration license on the ground. They do not own it. SEA has a right to tunnel through it from the owner, the province of BC. SEA can't interfere with any legitimate commercial interests of TUD and vice versa. That's how I understand it. There's room for both companies to share and prosper.
