I have to say I’m not a miner, I trained as a land surveyor/ setting out engineer.
Can you tell me how a mine would start without the likes of me pin pointing where to drill, how deep to drill, where to position the box cut , how much soil will come out , where to put the waste, how high to build the waste mound, setting out the roads , what levels to put the drainage , where to site the drainage, what direction the drill will take, what angle of drilling , setting out the evaporation ponds.
I could carry on , without the civil engineers the machines would stop working, they are essential for mine construction.
To say I’m not a miner with no credentials to qualify volumetrics of the ore is ludicrous
