How convenient! Now they wont need tons of explosives to to bring down the copper bearing sediments! Copper should be cheaper.

IIRC that big-ass pile of dirt is/was the spoil heap.

I believe that slumped heap was the non-copper bearing soil and rock they removed from the hole. It re-buried some of the operations, not exposed it.

Exactly my thoughts. All they should have to do is re-excavate the roads and they can start scooping up all the fill at the bottom. I say they’re back in operation in 60 days -fed regs and permits notwithstanding.

I suspect most of the slide is overburden. Here is a real shovel ready job.
