That’s ok the Chinese got it covered and they’ll respect nature and the environment no worries.
What feels like forever ago, I worked as an environmental engineer at a large surface gold mine in NV. While there, we attempted to get the final bond release on a closed mine. It went out for public comment. One of the local envirowackos objected. His reasoning? What if an airplane was to crash into the old heap leach pile. Would that not possibly cause some contamination?
Those are the people the mining companies are dealing with.
