Goldvision...that's very cool the way the site can be reclaimed per the photo. My point in posting those pics was just the awesome size of a generic open pit mine when in full production...even though BOSS pointed out that the Crystallex mine will be smaller than some of the pics I posted. I have no doubt that the site will be returned to it's natural state at the end of the mine's life or that the environment will be protected during production. I am curious....what is your take on water being a possible problem at the mine. I know that Richard Marshall responded to this question directly in response to BOSS. Ms. Gignac of Wellington West raised that as an issue when she cut her forecast in half. It is a deep hole. Satellite pictures of the site show lots of ponds\standing water. There is lots of rainfall. What is your take based upon your experience as far as the water "issue" is concerned? I presume that some hefty de-watering pumps will be employed. TIA...GW
