Dec 2019 Hydrogeologic Resources Report

In advance of the Forest Services’ public meeting on December 12, the Mining and Minerals Division (MMD) is posting Comexico’s hydrogeologic resources report as related to the Tererro Exploration Project. For this permit review process hydrogeologic, cultural and biological resources reports will be submitted to MMD to supplement the application. To date, of these reports, MMD has only received Comexico’s hydrogeologic resources report.

MMD believes it is necessary for the public to have access to as much information as is available prior to the Forest Services’ public scoping meeting. MMD will continue to post the reports as they are received.

MMD must complete the permit application process as required in Part 4 of the NM Mining Act Rules including reviewing all supplemental information prior to making a decision on the permit application.
