some friends were sharing this link last night discussing the mines
https://www.techspot.com/news/102377-two-mines-north-carolin...
it does seem like the mines in question are all open pit mines immediately adjacent to the north toe river, with facilities on the riverbank and toxic waste pools nearby.
i expect they've flooded to some extent. pit mine volume can be incredibly large so the worst case may be quite bad.

Yes, it might take some days before we understand the true impact on the supply chain and whether current stock levels will sustain a prolonged shutdown of mine operations.
