Morning Mac.
Concerning MT. Had a look at MT sat images via the planet.com site (which provides somewhat higher res images), and still cannot see any progress. No new tracks, clearing forms remain the same, the only thing that differs is the thawing of the last remaining 'dollops' of snow.
IMO nothing 'sizeable' is happening there.
Note that access and general circulation around the area however would not be identifiable IMO on such sat images so general exploration works could still be undertaken and largely go unnoticed. Google earth / Yandex do offer super high resolution images but are few and far between so cannot be relied up for any 'progress' purposes.
Did you see the Thread concerning how to use Sentinel? If not, i highly recommend you jump on there have a good look for yourself. Easy to use.
Concerning WK on google earth, the key area of the mining zone is blurred out so you cannot see the high res imagery, shame. Obviously the Russians deems it 'sensitive' in nature lol.
