These tests were designed to allow for the simulation of fluid flow under conditions similar to an envisioned commercial ISR production environment – ultimately facilitating a quantitative assessment of the bulk hydraulic conductivity of the Phoenix orebody and surrounding rock formations.  For ISR mining operations, the term \"hydraulic conductivity\" is used to describe the ease with which a fluid can move through the pore spaces or fractures within a host rock. Hydraulic conductivity, commonly represented by the symbol \"K\", is often st...
