Ann: Manono Project Operational Update, page-41

That pit looks great empty.
So much for the inability to drain the water comments.
Its easy to see why it was done.  Below you have the mineralization depths in red for the drills holes.   As one moves into the water (which doesn't exist anymore), the lithium is near surface.  The simplest way to imagine it is by flipping all red lines (and the triangles I connected the drilling sequence with) below the surface.  Homogeneous ice cream scoop mining with a crazy strip ratio AND near surface.



Looking forward to reading the DFS and the transport routes.
