[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 653455, member: 4386"] Some of those things appear to have occurred in 2021 to the extent of an investigation as to whether they were fit to mine (had to prove it by Oct 2021. My impression is that they may be sorting out now, with a new tailings storage being developed, and new local staff, and Hugh Morgan, former CEO of Western Mining, seems to have stepped in to save it.

This was a more recent minor collapse in a development drive I think. [/QUOTE]
