As a follow-up to our, previous update, , we want to provide new information about the steps we’re taking to minimize the odor near the Kings Mountain Mine pit. We have installed 10 new air monitoring systems surrounding the pit – more than twice as many as we had before. All readings of hydrogen sulfide remain more than 10 times lower than regulatory health and safety guidelines. In addition, we have been in close contact with local,…, dewatering operations, to draw water from the lower levels of the mine pit where sulfide levels are higher. The water is then transferred to a water treatment facility, where sulfide is removed. As necessary, water can be returned to the mine pit to increase the amount of low-sulfide water in the top layer. We are considering installing buoy-like objects on the surface of the water. The objects are designed to disrupt…
