& back to WCC for a bit;
found the below link (soz if posted b4); Seems it will take time. Basically, having humans living in the area causes more environmental damage than mining - is my take. The article link below, proves that in the past, any minuscule amount that could have possibly filtered into any form of a water catchment is no-where remotely near any harmful levels to humans, even during massive rainstorm periods from an abandoned mine site not managed properly by Anchor Resources. Plus, they mined there in the past, & the antimony levels in the samples were 0.0001% after extreme rain- harmless! Hopefully Booyzen & The NSW natural resources minister, Courtney Houssos, can handle this process with care & protect the land & environment whilst getting Antimony out of the ground peacefully. Article link below dated, 5th June 2025.
& the Ecologist and former Coffs Harbour councillor Mark Graham - probably is one of those approving the installation of Solar wind farms which destroy all wildlife Flora & Fauna in the region, in the name of Net Zero. My winge over. Booyzen will do the right thing, come on Gov't lets get this approved, & jobs flowing for the NSW economy whilst respecting the environment.
Go watch "Dark Waters " - I bet the locals all use Teflon & paint their house with DuPont paint & use other harmful toxic household pest sprays etc! Darn hypocritical greenies. You'd have to drink mega tonnes of water at 0.0001% for years everyday to even remotely get sick. Basically you'd die of old age first. I see only common sense will prevail here. Go Andre.
