I went on to summarize the earlier comments on "building" an open-pit/strip mine as only needing a bulldozer, clam-shell and some dump trucks and received the following reply.....
As I've said before, they have no axe to grind over on the Mining Company Research Board. Present your side of the story. They'll give you an unbiased opinion.
I am not a geologist either, but the science fascinates me. So does the absence of details when some claim to do research and DD.
Why has it taken so long for someone to bring up the geology? And especially the part about a third party geologist working in the oil & gas drilling sector? This is part of research and personal DD is it not? Paying attention to PR's is as well. Right?
I'm sure the individual referenced in the PR knows more about the Dodge Mine than anyone who posts here or anyone else for that matter who has not been there. Or does he/her?
