Hi Bamps, Shaun Day also commented on this at the town hall webinar a few weeks ago. It appears that the disrupters have pretty much lost everything to de-ramp on now, but love to come back to the aquifers, as they believe it's something that most people are not researched about, and they can score points on:
"There are three confined aquifers there (Havieron). We've been through the upper confined aquifer and the middle confined aquifer, and coming up to the lower confined aquifer, when we restart. I don't think the aquifers are technically challenging for us. It's a well trodden path in Australian underground mining, where you drill, you de-pressure, you put in bores, de-waterise, and move through the aquifer, which is just porous rock where some water can flow, and we've established the pumping to maintain that .
Overall, Havieron is a relatively dry mine. It's very manageable. It's a much drier mine than Telfer so we don't see that as a challenge."
