GM,

You were wondering: "Also was wondering will they slurry the waste from processing the chromite back into the ROF as an infill ? thanks."

One thing that is feasible and would help the EA scrutiny and ease a potential FN concern is the recycling of water in the chromite ore slurry. This water could be sent back for use again in making a new batch of slurry for the pipe.

Your question above is an interesting one. So, instead of sending back the used water (from the dewatering operation at the Nakina end) back to the RoF, there would seem to be no in-surmountable (technical) impediments to the mixing of the "waste" from the Gas Super Converter and slurry it back to the RoF. The slurry may have to be de-watered to get the solid "waste" out for use as backfill, unless it's "OK" to use the watery slurry to fill the void directly (perhaps, ciment should be added to the slurry to absorb the water, so that there would be no concern for waste water to get in the underground water system?). Note that I am speculating all this as a non-expert. The real doing would have to come from mining engineers.

Another option (which may be simpler, cheaper and may create less EA resistance?) would be to find a good place near Nakina to store the solid waste, just like in CLF proposed plan for its electric arc smelter in Capreol.
