IHunt2live Report post Posted April 26, 2008 My father-in-law's property it pretty near that proposed mine. He was out there yesterday and said that it looked like they were drilling for core samples. I don't know why they would they know theres copper there. I'm not a big fan of the idea but I think its going to happen. These mines use SO much water compaired to demestic use. I don't understand why we are asked to watch our water use when operations like this use so much with little real thought to water conservation. I know for a FACT that peoples wells in that area have already gone dry becouse of other mining operations in the area. Its sad and its only going to worse if this mine goes up.
