@OldRowSwig Depends on how it's done. You don't need to have a mine that's open from the top but could literally just be a tunnel network through a mountain that you reinforce the walls of as you go in. Honestly if I had a gazillion dollars I'd buy a depleted mine.

@CodingSwede @OldRowSwig Capitalism mandates mining companies to choose the cheapest most efficient method available. Which is typically strip mining unless regulations prohibits it

@Stupid_Interweb @OldRowSwig Pretty sure some billionaire would be willing to pay a few hundred million dollars for a depleted mine he can convert into a rentable nuclear bunker.
