Since 2010, SRK has completed a comprehensive groundwater resource study to support water supply development, dewatering and permitting at the Hycroft Mine in Nevada, including the design and management of a field investigation and testing program to support hydrologic characterisation of multiple hydrothermally-altered volcanic rock packages and deep, penetrating hydrothermally-influenced faults. The characterisation program included installing and hydraulic testing in 39 deep penetrating wells and piezometers, installing and monitoring the instrumentation boreholes, and hydraulic tests (packer testing) across multiple geologic units and faults that influence the project.
