reason for close of mines?, page-2

Hi Hopper.

This is where we are but I wouldn't be too concerned about these issues.

The Govt is looking after the site and cleaning it up.

This area had been mined for 100's of years using what we could call now a very primitive mining methods.
We must remember that until now, Eastern Europe was lagging in technology advances behind their Western European counterparts.

Our current mining methods are completely different and much more environmentally friendly.

As you would appreciate, the Monty Govt would not have allowed us to mine the area which they are not cleaning up UNLESS we could prove to them that our operations will not add to the existing problem.
