This is the image from the announcement.

The water level looks to be identical, so I think the water level is outdated, as they mentioned pumping from A North back in August. The water level should be down by now - no update given? It appears they've done some visual editing to show pit levels/benches, and the levels below the water line.

If LG is feeling frisky, he can jump this back fence next to A North and take a photo for us (or send up a drone - Thailand having some drone restrictions though). If they're mining Quartz (in the day time), expect security to be called.

20m through this stuff, then begins a 50 meter vertical drop into the pit. You'll be right above the pump.

There's a public view into this pit from the road, but it's A North and A Main that we're interested in, not this one.

And public views of the haul trucks:

But seeing the grade control drilling update, it looks like there's a fair bit of mining that can be done at surface in Quartz, before definitely having to merge with a de-watered A North.

According to that August article, without dewatering they could do 6 months mining before having water level issues. But if they've been dewatering since then (if not being delayed by the community water use agreement), then the 6 months would have changed to 12 and soon 24 etc. We should be able to mine and dewater until the pit is dry, without pausing the mining.

They did say they could shift the water from A pit North to other storage facilities on site and that was in August.
