According to KWG’s Lavigne, Cliffs may have to build 10 to 15 km of berms around the operation.

“The Black Thor and Big Daddy are under total swamp,” he says. “If you’re going to build an open pit, you have to have to hold back the swamp.”

As I recall BD is on higher ground than BT, and PRB BC is sitting high and dry. Can someone confirm this? Perhaps BC is a "sleeper" deposit (DSO quality as well) and CLF does not want to talk about (shhhh!). A surprise TO of PRB (or a deal for PRB chromite property) in the work?
