Good time to put Gibralter up for sale? 1. Copper prices are high. 2. The company already bought out smaller interests, so it would be a clean sale. 3. Would this allow an exemption to BC’s anti-scab law, enabling an acquirer to bring in some of its existing employees? 4. Ideally, anticipation that a new labor agreement could be simultaneous with the buyout agreement might encourage the strikers and/ or new management to settle. Allows all parties to save face as the acquirer takes over negotiations. 5. Taseko shareholders, the acquirer, and employees all win.
