So any bashers or pumpers, after 2 years of reading the same dribble from both sides I can confidently say that no one here comes off with good points without leading the reader to believe they are firmly bias for or against the project.
Nothing you say is helpful. Absolutely nothing.
CCB has the "There is a resource that is financially viable for extraction" argument.
GSLR has the "Not in My Backyard" argument.
Neither are good enough on their own and both lend to either:
A. Recklessly developing a mine to the detriment of the locale
B. Recklessly avoiding a mine in an country that demands strict environmental regulations, forcing it to be out of sight and out of mind elsewhere, in a much more destructive manner.
Both are appalling. Tree's can be regrown. Minerals are finite.
