Lemme put it this way...

We have found from scientific boreholes that about 3-4 km down there is a layer of highly mineralized rock that would be excellent for ores.

We haven't figured out how to mine it in commercial volumes.

We think the top of the Yellowstone magma chamber is about 8 km down. And we would like to remove magma faster than we would want to mine that water, when magma is a much trickier substance to work with.

Yeah, I know about scientific progress and all. But some things take time.

Cheers,
Ben
