How come we did not hear from Elmer what was paid for those shares?

That's what i want to know... seems like a pretty important piece of the puzzle.

Sure would have been nice if the JV acquired ALL the remaining Liard shares! I wonder if they tried to?

Thanks Golf! Finally laid out in a way that makes sense.

Just one question, how confident are you that CUU retained its individual interest in the Liard shares? I assumed these were contributed to the JV?

This is what i want to know as well. I just googled Liard Copper Mines and the only bit of info i could find (not part CUU news release) was from Bloomberg which states:

Company Overview

Liard Copper Mines Limited is based in Canada. The company operates as a subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited.

Really? Is this true? Is Teck really just selling something it already own's to the SCJV?

I suggested it once before and my post was quickly deleted... but I would say his "departure" coincided with the news relaease that CUU was scaling back on staff and operations after the announcement of the JV. It is of MY opinion that he was likely a paid pumper.

At this point, if it's just signatures that are required, I will personally take planes, trains & automobiles to hand deliver and obtain said signatures!
