[QUOTE="dwt, post: 87034, member: 428"] Hey gcause, the environmental footprint of open cut can be huge compared to shaft sink or adit/portals, imagine taking an adit/portal cut in the side of a hill and moving your ore for processing, you could leave trees and other flora/fauna alone, there would be a small clearing for roads and what have you but other than that you wouldnt need to go clearing from one end of your lease to the other, the main purpose for this is your re-hab plan would be minimal, all leases have to have a re-hab plan in processes, so as a small scale mining operation you would be best keeping as little a environmental footprint as possible. Keeps the greenies happy too. ;) As for the saftey side of your questions, one way is no more hazardous than the other, done the right way, with expierenced operators. Complacency and inexpierence, the biggest danger with any job. Hope this answers you questions mate ;) [/QUOTE]
