In section 13 Financial Assurance PGM is asking for the release of $13,148,223 CDN because the project is substantially complete. I do not think this should be released until a fully independent review is done by an independent qualified company and have their assessment of what funds are required to maintain and repair the site in case of failure of the existing infrastructure. It is my understanding that a covering was put over a lot of the tailings. This does not assure that these contaminates will not be released or found to be more problematic in the future. Then, there will be no money to address these problems and the tax payer will be forced to carry the bill, this should never happen.
