The land is not what I would call swampy around Snap Lake. The bedrock is fully exposed. Almost no top soil at all. Underground mining equipment is very low profile and the dyke is of mineable width or so the mining engineers say. There is significant amounts of granite rock between the bottom of the lake and the dyke layer. The lake will not be a significant factor. The natives seem very pleased about the development and are anxious to have good paying employment. Perhaps you could name the big environmental problem that is on your mind. In all likelyhood the ore will be removed from the dyke, processed through the mill, the diamonds will be removed and the ore will be returned to fill the space and maintain the structural integrity of the mine. The area is not populated, there will be negligible non biodegradable pollution, the water system will not be disrupted.... So what is the big environmental concern? I count about 40 million shares out. The numbers so far point toward a bulk sample consistent with previous results-maybe better. And it is nice to here that you are keeping yourself 'septique'. dictionaries.travlang.com
