Not sure how much water they need but this may settle the water question once and for all. Now the MMG silver results and the mine plan please!

Re: MMG -- Metalline Mining Company's consulting hydrologist, David Hawkins, of the Barranca Group LLC, reports: "[...] I like to caution my clients that 'underground rivers' don't occur except occasionally in fractured limestones. These are fractured limestones and this is behaving like an underground river." What an elegant turn of phrase! What a fine piece of news!

It looks to me like this testing indicates there's a heck of a lot of water there, with little drawdown from the first pump after 24 hours of continuous pumping at the max rate possible, so they put in a bigger pump and still had little drawdown and an almost instantaneous recovery of the water level to the static level when the pump was turned off. With the static level around 350-500 feet below the surface and the wells going as much as 1200 feet deep, there should be ample water for their mining, IMO. These are great results from the water testing, with a water expert saying "this is behaving like an underground river." They also have several other borings nearby that have very good production potential. IMO, despite the fears of many, water will be a nonissue for MMG's mining, and that's being proven more and more with the water testing.
