Sparky, I'm not privy to the contract/bond for reclamation at the Salt, but as I know it up here, with lots of mines and many other land-intensive businesses, the bond is established by purchased at the outset, meaning that it is (supposedly, I presume) 100% of the $$ needed to return things to natural is already sitting there as a bond or money in the bank or however the permit required it. It's to be used at the end of the life of the mine - whether the owner of that mine is still available or not. I believe the owner gets to use that money - or the government will.
Is that the way it goes?
