They knew this would happen they studied rainfall and mine levels for three years and still it floods.

Imagine NRW won't be happy when they get the memo saying by the way we've increased dewatering so it doesn't flood a makeshift tarp roofed tent and some scaffolding.

NRW - YOUR PERMIT REFUSED

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for parts of North Wales as heavy rain looks likely to cause flooding in the area.


North Wales could see as much as 200mm of rain in the coming days which is likely to lead to flooding causing disruptions to public transport, roads and power.

The yellow weather warning is set to be in place for 36 hours - from 6am tomorrow (September 19) to 6pm on Wednesday (September 20).

The heavy rain/flood warning will be in place for most of North Wales including Conwy, Denbighshire and Gwynedd

'NRW has refused the Company's request for a temporary extension to the higher rate (100m3/day) abstraction rate to take account of the exceptionally heavy and unseasonal rainfall experienced in north Wales during July and August, which was some three times higher than the average rainfall for the time of year and which resulted in the reflooding of the workings.

As a consequence, the Company has commenced an emergency abstraction of water pursuant to the Water Resources Act 1991, in order to safeguard the safety and access works which were completed by Alba at Levels 2 and 3 of the Lower Llechfraith Workings prior to those levels reflooding (Figure 1). Notice of the emergency abstraction has been given to the regulator.'

dont look good with winter on the horizon unless its a cold and very dry one..unlikely though to be dry ,more extreme rainfall will be the case heading into the grand solar minimum..i might have got this one wrong unless ukog and groc are the saviours

Why accept lower dewatering amounts if you know after three years monitoring it wasn't going to be enough.


Udog looking to administration, SG folding looks like Alba's not far behind

Aussie gold diggers?

[honfacifi] 23/8/2023 18:28

So far enough down to see gold?

Down to level 3 depending how you do the maths either slow progress now until we fully dewater or we remain at this level doing remedial works until nrw allow increased discharge.

[honfacifi] 21/8/2023 17:56

What's the state with dewatering?

[1choip] 21/8/2023 12:59

Run out $$$

[terminator101] 21/8/2023 12:50

Seems that this valueless lifestyle pish just keeps on giving ;-) Shares iceagefarmer and all his fantasy city mates today?

[luffness] 21/8/2023 08:13

But don't worry as you can always enter lower - lol

[terminator101] 17/8/2023 07:46

Nice reminder that this loss making lifestyle pish has zero revenue. The fact they made a "profit" is down to disposals.

CROC update. A Croc of 💩

I watched the movie a few weeks back about the 13 young Thai boys trapped in the flooded caves and the unbelievable rescue mission. If you have not seen it I highly recommend as a must watch. Especially how they struggled to drain the water seeping in to the caves. I'm not sure how much more water NWR are going to allow to be pumped out in to the pristine streams and rivers. That's the easy part. It looks like they will have to be pumping water from the mines 24/7 until eternity at the level they are allowed to extract. At least the CEO and the workers are getting paid 😂

This mornings RNS, exceptional rain fall 🤣 its WALES. Its always raining. Wait until the rainy season 😂

[dead duck resources] 16/8/2023 08:37

Heavy rain provides the justification the directors were after to explain another year of no progress.

[terminator101] 16/8/2023 08:10

It rains in Wales? Who knew.

[iceagefarmer] 16/8/2023 07:50

oh well theres always the graphite to fall back on unless we get a mini ice age in greenland which isnt out of the question

[iceagefarmer] 16/8/2023 07:48

reminds me of the flooding problems with central rand gold..that one folded eventually so hope alba doesnt follow suit...more heavy rain forecast weekend
