Interesting set of pics Ian.

What is happening now at the mine, did you get to talk with anyone in the know?

The majority of the staff will be gone by April. The mine will be on "care and maintenance" for a while. (probably till the gas has been extracted which dives the generators that puts electricity back into the grid).
