The 2 ponds on the right are filling again, the one on the left is starting to empty notice the liner showing in top corner
(Apologies for photo quality)

These 2 are showing where the new road kinks around the salt pans

I’ve shown this only for one reason.
It’s a fact that orebodies first tale-tale sign is vegetation on the surface.
I do have one for Havieron before they made a mess of it showing it spreading out to the SE
Those 2 big black areas is the vegetation over Stingray and Decka with Havieron right at the bottom. I read a scientific paper on this subject, from memory it’s effected by the magnetics and nutrients

Hi Bamps
Thankyou for the updates
Is the filling up of the Ponds again positive or a sign that the dewatering is taking longer and until they stop filling less prospectof the decline progress restarting?

Hi MFU
There seems to be a quick turnaround in evaporation and refilling in the previous 5 days, I take that to be still pumping out. I’m keeping an eye on when there’s little change could signal a restart.
I would expect Byrnecut to be busy with the vents and accesses to them before restarting the Decline.
They might not need all the water to be drained as that will continue for a long time before they recommence.
