I asked even if an operational mine and she said doesnt matter ? Seems sceptical pretty much sayin u can just drive through an operational mine site without contacting anybody before hand and they cant do anything

That sounds like pretty dubious advice to me, as the mining company could be held liable for any accident on their operational lease.

My thought to apparently u can but not aloud on main haul roads and active parts of mine ect

That makes sense. Personally I wouldn't want to push my luck: if a haulpak doesn't get you, a dozer will!

IMO best practice would be to contact the Mine operator & tell them your intent to pass thru the lease. They should provide the safest route & may even escort you depending on the mining activities?

100% would expect a rude reception doing it any other way really even if u are aloud but of common courtesy
