That is not correct. If the mining company is privately held they don't have to do anything it is their money to make or lose.
But, a public company is completely different. They are supposed to be responsible for the shareholders money. To start mining without a feasibility study - especially with the huge outlay of cash to get the mines going. I NEVER see SRGE address the costs associated with bringing the mines to compliance.
BTW, do you have any idea when the mines were last operational? I didn't think so.
There so many holes in the SRGE story and it is obvious not many know anything about mining.
