Haul roads at Ross-AdamsDo any of you even understand what a haul road is?
Well, here is a definition for the slower students in the group:
A haul road is a dedicated road or pathway used for transporting materials, usually mined ore, from the mining site to a processing plant or storage area. These roads are designed to handle the heavy load of haul trucks and facilitate efficient and safe transportation within a mining operation.
So therefore, if talk is now of constructing a haul road at Ross-Adams early next year, someone is--literally-- paving the road to a future mining operation. Why else would they be needing this? If mine decommissioning were all that was going on, then that is just a few trucks of concrete to dump into and plug an unused mine.
But as I have theorized, the intention is to prepare the ground for a more durable operation-- mining.
I hope this clarifies everything. It may have confused Pip and some of the slower students, but I know that Dragon understands.

P.S. I am so smart! I am so smart! S-M-R-T!

P.P.S. In the next lesson for the class, I want you to all write down in your notebooks the following numbers:
(1/2) @ 100
(1/2) @ 300
You will be tested on these numbers sooner than you think.
