RE:We await for some form of intellectual post from…RC, You are still engaged in promulgating nonsensical, stupid thinking. The fatal flaw in the story you weave is that because other steps have not yet taken place this is a reason to for the mine not to go forward. Don't you think all these expensive lawyers would have considered that if it were ever true? But as you are well aware, you've been caught lying again.
You see those steps would have been happily funded and taken by the Major Miners prior involved except for the uncertainty raised by all of the political concerns and shenanigans that caused them to make a cost benefit analysis and pull out...but not forever. But don't worry. They'll be back to pull all the appropriate permits you're concerned about. Now that we've straightened you out do you have any other concerns?
