Strange.

Get Ready:
"Teck Corporation started life with a few small gold mines in Ontario and Quebec. Thirty years ago its revenues were $11 million, mainly from oil, and its assets amounted to $48 million.
After a number of amalgamations, a move to Vancouver from Toronto, a merger and a name change, Teck Cominco today is a diversified mining and refining company. It mines gold, base metals and coal in Canada, the U.S. and Peru, and refines metals in Canada and Peru. It is the world’s largest zinc miner. In 2002 its revenues were over $2 billion, and its assets were valued at over $5 billion."

Whoa. 5 billion in assets. They eat you for breakfast.
