Remember Aber had the same issues in the NWT at Diavak they built a dam

yes that is true, however building a dam straddling the shore on a lake is different. At ARU's project, porous conglomerates and sandstones in a pull apart basin over the mineralization, and beside a river, will undoubtably have very high ground water flows, especially when you consider this is a tropical high rainfall environment with surrounding highlands that will charge a groundwater system with constant high pressure water inflows . I would think engineers will require a number of water wells drilled and pumped to determine ground water levels and flows so they can evaluate and compare various possible economic mining scenarios.
