BHP’s mine should produce a good sized boom for the city starting basically now, construction of towers now will reap the benefits in the coming few years of prosperity, before another down cycle in maybe five years… this project huge for our downtown. I’ll never be able to afford No 1 River Landing but I could see myself moving to these Baydo Towers.

The mine site is an hour and a half from the city. Like Lanigan, it will employ a few people from the city. Most on site workers will be from nearby rural areas though.
Also, my guess is that the few BHP office workers in the city very likely won't want to live in this skid mark.
