Thank you.
Thank you, Dr. Bruce. We've heard or read that industry admits that there is seepage from the tailings ponds into the groundwater. But then we read that there is a lot of clay beneath the tailings ponds so this seepage is not problematic. We've also heard that the groundwater in that area gets somewhat contaminated but it's still usable, and that some sort of levelling of the quality of groundwater takes place and the water is still usable despite the seepage.
How do you view those kinds of claims? These claims are made--and signed off on, really--in environmental assessment panel reviews. There's an admission that there's seepage, but then the conclusion drawn is that it's not a problem.
