Hi Molar sorry for your loss, there’s been a few shareholders I had got to know and I will remember them fondly. NigeW came with me and TomE from the TW board and it took some persuading. Archways such a gentleman travelled to nearly all the events, I met his family and friends early this year he will be missed.
Regarding the aquifer it’s just one of these things that miners have to deal with. If Tuggy took his rubber duck down the Decline he would find it hard to find a puddle.
Joking aside it’s not a problem it’s just an issue, a hurdle to get over.
It’s a dry mine not like Telfer being a wet mine.
The main issue with the FS is the sulphides somehow they’ve found out that there’s pockets of self- heating. A management plan will be put in place to counter this issue, not a major one but one that has delayed the FS.
The evaporation ponds are not an issue, the latest statement from Shaun confirms the low water content of the aquifer and the overtopping events are low risk. He stated that the Evaporation ponds will be built as and when needed , is not a major issue.
The ponds are needed for this aquifer as its high saline content is too high for the water to be reused it has to be evaporated.
Any water below this level if there is any will be treated and reused.
I hope this will alleviate your concerns.
