RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:NXE 43-101I'm certainly no expert on mining either lol. Spent the last hour or so reading on tailing mgt. It seems a lot of it is site specific. Conventional tailing ponds are facing more environmental concerns of late due to "accidents" that have happened to current tailing ponds. An additional problem in environments that face regular freeze up is keeping the pumps and pipes ice free. Cement paste backfilling is becoming more common in tailings mgt as it is more environmently friendly and takes a smaller footprint. It was evident that strict engineering guidelines for both processes is required. Tailings mgt is a huge part of the mine application so I can't believe it was left off the Fission summary because it was a non-issue. I suspect it wifi be more clear in their new PEA coming out later in the year. Good luck with your investment

I'm not sure where I read it, but I thought NXE's proposal to go undeground with tailings us more of a novel concept and therefore may require additional development work, hence the additional risk. I'm not a mining expert, so correct me if I'm wrong there.
