via Bing Maps - Waste Rock Stockpile - Waddy Lake

56.207938, -103.898306

It might be important to take a second look at the waste rock stockpile and compare it once again with the Bing Maps version, July 2013:

As we see here, the SAT photo from Bing Maps of the time showed a huge waste rock stockpile, coming out of nowhere:

On second glance, Terraserver shows an updated SAT photo from 2016. The wasterock stockpile is many times larger, and if you look closely, you see a vehicle. Perhaps also a second vehicle at the northeast end of the extended plateau it has become. Once you realize the size of the wasterock stockpile, then it falls into place.

If this is quite correct, then operations are continuing and ongoing underground. Looking at the southern corner, you see the pile was doubled up, that what we're seeing is the original wasterock stockpile with a second layer piled and flattened on top. Once you realize this, then the wasterock stockpile becomes immense.

Also the wasterock stockpile conforms exactly with roads made earlier than 2011, meaning that this was all planned in advance.
