5.4 Local Resources and Infrastructure
Presidio, Texas, is the nearest population center and a source of supplies and labor, with an estimated
population of 7,400 in 2009.
Water is available on adjoining properties. As of 1997, Rio Grande Mining Company (1997c) had
reported that water is available from the mine shaft on the Shafter silver property, which is not
controlled by Tosca, about 4.5mi east of the Red Hills.
West Texas Utility’s 69KV transmission lines serve the Shafter silver property (Rozelle and Tschabrun,
2008).
As shown on Figure 4.2 and discussed in Section 14.0, the mineral resource lies close to the
northwestern property boundary of Section 34. Additional land would be required in order to access all
of the known mineralized material. Recent agreements between Tosca, Red Hills Copper, Inc., and the
adjoining property owner indicate that there is a reasonable expectation that Tosca will be able to secure
surface rights to the adjoining property.
