overburden...waste...wot a load of rot, page-15

Thanks for that Max..so you state..just a section I have quoted because it's too big to quote the whole lot..

"From what I have seen now, it seems clear there is going to be an absolutely huge amount of 'overburden' and waste to be removed to get to the alaskites, but this would be the case for any mining operation. It's important not to overestimate it's effect, or underestimate it."

When you state this..do you mean initially when they first begin mining there will be huge amounts of "overburden"? Or do you mean further down the track..once they have allready dug out the inititial resource area?. Just curious how you are viewing the deposit.
