I don't think anyone is suggesting a possible pit entrance at Whitfield, Alexander. If you look at a map it is about three miles inland - not ideal for accessing undersea reserves.
I don't think the discovery of gold around Whitfield would stop the DDC juggernaut's cherished back-to-front "economics" (shops promising to open if houses get built) - let alone coal.
Maybe we should stick it in your back yard.
