This says it all:
Mining and ore processing requires large volumes of water. Our engineers have identified location of an adequate water supply as a critical milestone in the feasibility study process. The current results suggest that a suitable water supply can be identified.

That was the last big remaining hurdle, so if confirmed, feasibility should be a breeze, IMO.

This is also a good way to help win approval of the local community for the project:

Our water exploration holes in another area, to the north of the town of La Esmeralda, show excellent potential to provide high quality drinking water. We are working with local authorities to find ways to cooperatively develop a reliable supply of water to meet present and future needs of our work force and other inhabitants of the towns of Sierra Mojada and La Esmeralda.
