That way it's safer and production stays the same.

Not sure where you got that information, but I would question it's source as it's certainly not true everywhere...including mines in BC.

No, I'm in northern Alberta, but I know the old Similco mine. In fact, I was supposed to stop there for a visit on my vacation, but didn't manage to make it.
