So I can't give you a year number <br />'at this point. <br />What I would anticipate seeing is as <br />operations progress and continue over the course of <br />ten years, we would be able to answer that question <br />before we got to a point of really completing <br />reclamation of the site. <br /> MR. DANIELSON: Where would the <br />material com^ from if you wound up having to <br />(partially backfill the pit? <br />
