I find mining very interesting, especially the reclamation aspect. There are tons of issues to get things back to chemically and physically stable.

The mine shown here is the Ekati Mine in NWT Canada. It’s set to close in 2029. All mines must have a plan for closure, and these plans, at least in NWT are public.

Here is the one for Ekati. https://registry.mvlwb.ca/Documents/W2020L2-0004/Ekati - CRP Version 3.1 - Part 1 - Aug 15_23.pdf

Closure plans are super long: the summary text is often 200 to 300 pages, and with the associated appendices are like 1-3k pages in length and are highly technical

Fortunately, Section 1 (page 49) has a plain language summary of the closure plan. Here you can find a summary of major closure strategies for things like pits and waste rock dumps

These plans get more and more certain as they revise them and approach the end of operations.

Fill your boots! There is some cool stuff in the closure plan if you’re inclined to learn more!

Really cool idea, and comment. I think it would reduce money tied up, but still, would require significant investment to build and maintain

Sshh. That sounds like socialism, you fucking commie.

Hey, I’m a man of culture

While this is there reference you’re making, this song is outstanding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnIvZ_RwXK0

This tastes like grandma’s ashtray!

Sir, did you think they were raging against the washing machine?

‘But trump is a member of the American population and therefore I have responsibility to him! He also just happens to be the Future POTUS and my boss! No corruption here! Checkmate Trans-Athiests!’

OW! WHY IS THIS PACKAGE BITTING ME?!

My original thought, too lol

I had to see it so you do too

There’s a lot of ways i can go with a response, considering what those boots used to be called.

I would recommend value village though

Our ancestors weren’t bagging deer with compound bows, and high powered rifles.

That’s quitter talk

It’s more like throwing a pork chop into the middle of a dog fight and running away lol
