consider the source, or . . . Perhaps you did.
Agree.
These bloody University activist dropout tree huggers do not even live in the area.
They forgot to mention the existing "open cut" lime stone mine just metres North of the Tungsten mine that has been operating for many years.
They claim silt and oil pollution comes from the Tungsten mine, but the only large storage of the latter is the lime stone mine work shop at creek level also North of the Almonty proposed dump hopper area.
They might of also protested against the Ski/Golf club resort 2.5km NNE of Sangdong mine, but it is there, and happily running in Winter and Summer to the joy of the locals.
Of course there will be some muddy water from run off, but not a poison to the Eco system.
These people do not even know the difference between sh*t and clay.
So to sum up......protocol dictates a need to hear from all parties involved no matter how petty (Govt. Local Mayors, Peoples).
The need for the greater should far outweigh the ones that are lost in a foggy mindset.
They have been heard, and will probably move on to another protest project in the future to make some more noise to justify there existence.
Ignore these ones.
