BLR receives approval for UBHM test, page-5

Kind of contradicts your last post, mudguts.



Hi Buc,

I've got a dossier full of these. So lets get started.

How did the water rights go?? Nothing could stop Hansen?? So what went wrong. How much money do you need to get the water right back on track & when will this be done. Won't hold you to it. Best guess is fine

This would HAVE to be squared away wouldn't it.. production this year, not event eh NRC could stop Ablation ..yes?

Firstly access to water to progress Mining at Hansen
3.5.5 Water Requirements For Hansen
Water is needed for mining and any processing operations and will be encountered during exploitation of the uranium resources in the sandstone. Tests have been conducted on the deposit to understand groundwater conditions.
During the 1970s and early 1980s slug tests were conducted by Solution Engineering.
The tests were to determine if the Hansen deposit was amenable to in-situ mining. It was determined that the transmissivity ranged from 0.60 to 35.6 gpd/ft in each of the three aquifers evaluated and that the permeability of the formation was too tight for adequate solution flow.
During the same period Geo-Hydro Consulting evaluated the aquifers in order to determine requirements to de-water a potential open pit mine. They determined that there were four aquifers located in the Thirty-Nine Mile Andesite, the Tallahassee Creek Conglomerate, the Wall Mountain Tuff, and the Echo Park Formation, which lies just above the Precambrian basement. The Wall Mountain Tuff aquifer is a discontinuous aquifer with relatively high transmissivity and exhibits artesian conditions.
The aquifers are terminated by a set of faults located at the southern end of the Hansen deposit. Geo-Hydro was of the opinion that this fault doesn’t entirely block and retain water within the aquifers. It was felt that there is significant leakage through the fault.

The recharge for the aquifer system is about 4 miles northwest of the Hansen deposit. Mathematical modeling of all the aquifers indicated pumping rates of 890 gpm to 1380 gpm would be required to de-water a potential mining pit. It appears to JKE that this aquifer then might provide a source of water for the mining operation, if needed, such that there isn’t a fatal flaw relative to generating the necessary water for the Project. Additionally, BLR is working to secure water rights for the Project. It does not appear that there is a concern over the availability of water for a mining and processing operation.

As I've noted on many previous occasions WATER availability & access is & will not be a major concern in regards to attaining a Mining Development within the Hansen/Taylor precinct.

The scare tactics in regards to access to water within Hansen, has now been Myth-busted !
