mining produces surprisingly little pollution. I could take you to places in Canada where drilling took place 20 years ago, and sit back and bet you 100 dollars per drill hole that you cannot find the drilling locations. My 100 dollars is safe, despite the factg they drilled 1000 holes. Headframes disappear. Mine sites crumble. In 50 years you cannot find the mine. Watercourses are as pure as they ever where. 98% of mines never left a blade of grass dented. An open pit is just a big hole in the ground. It does not pollute. The minerals that could dissolve into water are gone. There is the odd polluted water course in Canada from mining. the odd black mark. I won't deny it. But no person has been killed by mine tailings pollution. Cyanide or heavy metal. The first people I have ever heard killed by an abandoned mine were those just last month who were inspecting the old Sullivan and on the surface they ran into H2S gas that had evolved from underground and concentrated in a pocket near a water pump out station. We are talking a 1 in 100,000 freak accident. Coal mining has been a hazard to its personnel and mining underground has been a hazard to men on occasion, air wise, and ground wise. That is a problem I can fix. I know engineers who cannot take their head out of their keister long enough to tie their shoe laces back up, but I can fix the air-ground problem. Easy. I can fix the sulphide emissions problem, and the slimes water fines problem too. Easy. And heavy metals in the water. It is dangerous legally to fix it too well, but I can meet the standards. That is not a scientific impossibility. EC<:-}
