Nevada Copper Obtains 100% of Water Needs for the Pumpkin Hollow Project

Nevada Copper Corp. (TSX:NCU) reports that the City of Yerington has amended an existing water service agreement with Nevada Copper to provide for additional water for its Pumpkin Hollow project. 

The press release is quoted as saying:

In 2009, Nevada Copper entered into a water agreement with the City of Yerington whereby the City would provide water to Nevada Copper as a standard water service customer. The amended agreement brings the total water volumes available from the City and other sources to approximately 4,300 acre-feet, which considerably exceeds the expected net water requirements of Phases 1 and 2 of the Project.

Nevada Copper’s Vice President and Senior Project Manager, Greg French says:

“This agreement assures that Nevada Copper will have enough water to fully develop the Pumpkin Hollow project. This includes the current planned Phase 1 underground mine and associated 7,500 tons per day processing facility; and the Phase 1 & 2 combined underground mine and an adjacent open pit mine with a second 60,000 tons per day processing facility.”
