RE:Bleak rumor's circulating on the WRX SH boardI agree. This is tragic. Somehow we need to get together and make this work. Clearly the "Moab" / "Secondary Belle Plaine" approach does not work here (I wrote about that 14 years ago).
The ore to the north is a problem, but excellent ore to the east for a selective cavern. (we need to see all the Data). A couple holes "in high grade" to the east plus a simple crystallizer system would replace the complicated drilling to the north, the pond, dredge, submerged combustion heaters and most of the pumping system. The cost to do this would be a fraction of what it would cost to abandon and reclaim the site.
is it possible to have a meeting, possibly form a coalition, maybe Gensource, Beechy, maybe Buffalo, and Western and maybe some first nations or others, and at least consider the possibilities. If it is going to happen, it needs to be soon.
We know how to do it. But we need a solid demonstration. This is important to the industry.
