<This to me means there has to become a HUGE open pit>
the price you pay if you are going to have the largest
glory hole on the planet.

I once told the folks on this thread that I lived in
Ely: The Ruth copper pit is huge, and this will be much
larger. Open pit mines are hideous, but they will make
you a lot of money. It is the only way to move a lot of
earth efficiently. In West Virginia they take the entire
mountain tops off to get coal, again hideous, but don't
tell a dozer operator who lives there he can't have a
job.

But there is some consolation in all of this if you
have any tendencies toward environmentalism: When
our planet returns to ice and whatever our race has
evolved into finally dies out, the largest glory hole
on the planet will long have folded back into the
earth's crust, melted, and dissappeared.

...mote in God's eye...
