RE: RE: RE: RE: Circumstantial Evidence It's the nature of the processing plant that allows them to produce either Met coal or thermal coal for only a $2M difference in capital cost. I understand, as they are business people, why this is an obvious low cost option.
Although, as I have explained, I expect they will be producing Met coal, but nothing in life is for certain.
I don't want them to produce and just sell thermal coal either. If my interpretation of what they are intending is correct then that is less likely. If this project actually becomes a producing mine, time will tell.
I believe that since we are such a resource rich country (Canada) that we have to find ways to sell our resources to maintain our comfortable lifestyle. But, I also believe that it's possible to do so in a manner that is friendly to our environment. Our regulations are very tough but maybe not tough enough. I don't think its unreasonable to expect corporations to meet these tough requirements. As time goes on, we will develop new technologies and they, hopefully, will make mining even less intrusive.
Just my opinion.
