You did not miss anything. AFAIK there has been no information released other than mention that in an old mine shaft of one of the properties water had accumulated and one of the patented (if I correctly recall) claims there is the small Lake's lake. I think the mention was to indicate that these were being used to source water for the exploration drilling.

The AZ well database gets entries when wells are being drilled and these get updated later, sometimes. There are registered wells in the vicinity (a few within a couple mile radius) and if I recall a couple were updated with flow-rate info. The last time I looked a number of the earlier database entries for AMY (under the Rouche name) were listed as abandoned, none had flow-rate info, and none of the 2010 entries had been updated with any info, like depth. The couple registered wells in the vicinity are, again if I correctly recall, well below 100 gallon per minute.

Just upstream from the east end of the confluence entering Alamo Lake there is a very old, very deep (1000+ foot) well in the database from somewhere around 1975 +/- drilled by a then major firm (Union Carbide? it is fuzzy now) and I think it has a flowrate above 100 gallon per minute.

My prior rough calculation from what water use info was in one NR came out to approx 6,000 acre-feet/year, but the project has now doubled in size. Based on that doubling and the prior NR info they are looking at a water consumption of around 7,500 gallon/minute 24 hr/day 365 days in order to source 12,000 acre-feet/year (7,450 actually, but 7,500 is how I will remember it).

That is all just trying to wrestle info out of what little I have found released. It could be way off. If so the company should correct by releasing some usable info. Otherwise, I think the ball-park based on the little available it not mathematically incorrect.
