Luke and Aaron: to add to your points on fewer community issues with new high-tech mines. I think as long as mining operations will happen close to local communities, there will be expectations that…"
"Hi Michel, great point regarding other industries: it's true that the mining industry is not the only one getting more sophisticated and that there will be a rife competition for talents. From your experience, how easy (or difficult) is it to…"
