Deke -
Thanks for the link to a great article about CZN!
I really like this part of the article (below) because it shows the steps that management is willing to take to minimize the mine's impact on the local environment

"The paste-fill plant is a major component
of the mine’s environmental
protection engineering. Rather than
deal with any risks of having a tailings
pond in a river valley, all tailings from
underground will be processed in the
plant, and put back underground as
paste fill for areas that have been mined.
Forty-seven percent of the mined rock
will go back into the mine as paste backfill,
27% will be stored as harmless waste
rock — with no acid rock drainage issues"
