100notout-agree.
I have said many times too, imagine 97km squared in the area you live, imagine all of the infrastructure required for a full production mine, plant area, roads, water into the plant, the settling ponds, encachment areas, drainage to keep water away from the area, then all of the plant and equipment needed for the job. This is bigger than the largest quarry in the UK it is massive.
The technical drawings attached to this will be mind boggling.
Nothing on this scale is fast.
It would dwarf any of the old opencast mines previously in the UK.
