so I am wondering just why Mount Polley has been so quiet...as per their web page... Mount Polley is in its second year of implementation of Toward Sustainable Mining (TSM); a program administered by the Mining Association of Canada (MAC) that provides a public and transparent commitment to responsible mining. The principles of TSM demonstrate leadership in the areas of community engagement and globally recognized environmental practices, and a commitment to the safety and health of employees and surrounding communities. TSM's tools and indicators drive performance and ensure key mining risks are managed
