Hello robbo some back of envalope figues for you. I decline from 8 level to 14 level Aprox 90 vertical ms so at 1 in 7 down plus a stock pile or two would be around 650 ms at say $ 2200 a m roughly $ 1,430,000 About 13,161 tonnes of waste to get rid of some of which may go into filling old stopes With the water You may beable to pump the water if there is any below 14 level into the river But when you start mining that area all water would have to be pumped to a turkeys nest( settling) pond Golden Cross had a water treatment plant that washed all water that left the lease Mining below 14 level could have a lot of water enter the mine They do have pumps that can handle it BUT you would need to pump it to a settling pond before it could enter the river and if you are pumping 40 l a second or more you will need a big pond You may have to buy one of the farms behind the mountain and have you ponds there Nothing is impossible it just needs money and thought
