But our capture systems for leach water have not been perfect. We're spending a lot of money to correct that. |
It's a hell of a lot easier to deal with problems up front. |
The question is, can we offset the increase that will be necessary to install these new technologies by cost reductions through mining smarter. I don't know. |
We take advantage of that. |
We wouldn't be spending $2 billion if we intended to shut down. We need a 30-year mine life to pay off those investments. We fully intend to keep operating. That's what pays for cleanup. |
