GENERAL METALS AWARDED KEY WATER RIGHTS FOR INDEPENDENCE MINE OPERATION
|
| | Reno, NV March 3, 2010 General Metals Corporation (the "Company") (OTCBB: GNMT) (FRANKFURT: GMQ), reports that the State of Nevada, Division of Water Resources (NDWR) has formally awarded General Metals water rights which will be immediately available to the Company upon completion of a well. The permit is subject to certain requirements, the first of which is that General Metals complete the production well, and provided proof of the installation to NDWR on or before August 5, 2011.
The water right granted is for 1.34 cubic feet per second (cfs) or approximately 600 gallons per minute (gpm). This amount of water is sufficient to provide makeup water, dust control and other necessary uses for the Company's 2,400 gallon per minute process facility as planned by Dyer Engineering of Reno, Nevada.
Securing adequate water rights is a crucial step in the path to production for the Independence Property. Situated Nevada, a very arid state where most water basins are either fully, or over allocated it is critical that mines secure adequate sources of water. The Company as also applied for a separate additional permit to divert up to an additional 900 gpm. This application is pending with NDWR.
Further details regarding the Independence are available on the Company's website www.gnmtlive.com.
