Thinking out Loud. 1) This looks like a way to justify to a Major that TUD should be the 1st JV choice.
2)There have been several recent legal challenges as to the way BC Gov has been granting applications such as "The First Nations' court challenge to B.C.'s mineral rights system begins in 2023"
3) Because the MTT application was granted in 2014 it was not acted on quickly enough and before significant drilling by TUD was done many years later.
4) The extension of Right-of-way License SK904033 on Oct 03, 2018 after TUD purchased the controlling interest in Treaty Creek is suspect and likely to be the target of the recent application.
5) TUD has been drilling fron 2016 to 2023 (8 years) and has discovered a massive and lucrative deposit
6) This situation will probably require the 2 parties to negotiate a mutually acceptable solution, which probably means finding a new MTT route that does not affect TUD's valuable mineral discoveries. This will be a further delay for SEA while TUD prepares for their PEA.
Glad my investment is on the right side of the mountain!
All IMHO, DYODD, and good luck to the 3 Amigos Longs.
