RE: Current Weather I have to disagree with you G&G, there's no problem of
mining in the dark; underground miners the world over
do it all the time. As for the cold temperatures, granted it
makes mining a bit more difficult but Meadowbank in the
middle of the barrens, at -40 is running an open pit oper-
ation year round. The plus side is that the low tempera-
tures will extent the life of the ice road from the Tuk to R.B.
