RE:RE:A 2nd water dike to cross ?2nd dyke... ?
apparently thsis will B a permnent theme... reviewing what limited info is avail on the nev well drill logs site... these mines install new wells as the mine advances...
the recors i looked at were for mountain face entry..
my best guess - is they knew where the second dyke was located w the equipment that measures inside of the shaft.. here/again they probably blasted to relieve pressure..
what s diffrent ! they now hav gear inside and are not working inside of a flooded shaft..
that first dyke should hav been connected to the drain wells.. the mines fail if they cannot stop the water flows/caves v/s pumps.. i would imgine they are currently drilling a second well for saftey.. this is simple gaggle U tube searches
-->> round mountain has several of these in operation... <<<---
NCI also hired the water engineer from cortez (ABX).. his specaility is water reclamation..
at cortez.. as U drive into the mine.. there are drain tubes 20 inches several miles out onto a dry lake bed.. this is wehre the water is discharged or discharge to groundwater below the mountain base.. the water simply perks bak down thru the dry lake
the cortez ABX engineer NCI hired last quarter, and a fact that the Stte of Nevada Revoked 5000 ac feet from Quanteras on the outter boundary of NCI.. is NCI intends to use that water..
Specifically !
Yearington was given several million dollars to construct a water reclamation distrik (Feds).. when i read this in the loacal paper.. i was striken w curiosity where this distrik was going to get water..
again we do knot know ! but it sounds like tht wateer overburden is going into a new lake @ yearington.. here they will manage and re-sell the water to the entire mining valley..
if you need some bad mangement reclamayyion piks -that- ABX has previously constructed since 2016.. go take peek at their Phoneix Mine @ Battle Mountain.. here they hav constructed a rather lrge man-made lake.. its not a slurry impoundment..
yearington is tite w water rites.. !! NCI only owns 18 acre feet - thts all we can locate in the state records.. otw - NCI is apparently leasing water for the tune of 320,000$.. it will be in the annual expense reports coming out soon.. its on their records.. what the expense report fails to mention iizz this per month or annually.. i think its per month..
>>> Oilwell Varco also came into Elko a few months bak and constructed a rail wharehouse loading yard... they hav no oil exploration projects - ongoing (nevada) / according to the elko press..
presently they are woorking in cahoots w ABX ,and are draining the Open Pit at sheeps creek outside of elko.. Varco is treating the OP mine water to surface discharge standards w new technology -- discharging into the humbolt river...
the old yet! Opitt has 65,000 acre feet.. has a little arsenic.. so i am guessing this will fall under fish and game under the state fo nevada.. it has been designated as a pond/lake --- good bet that is on the board for utilization by the city of yearington.. who will treat an re-sell the water coming into the reclamation distrik...
otw - i would not plce a lot of excessive thught on the second dyke... i suspect thye know how to deal w these.. there are special machines - similar to tunnel bolting; that shoot a polymer into the walls - diverting water to reflow/drain..
the mine still has issues - NCI is simply not transparent.. the standard NCI Drill !
anyhow - i thinks there is slim to nill chance there will not B more.. the mine is sitting on an Aquifer - a rather large sierra underground lake.. this little issue will add to the cost of mining @ NCI $$$$ again NCI is not displaying the day charge to manage this expenditure.. the drain wells are in the millions of dollars...
