On November 4, 2013 the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety found Western States Minerals,LLC to have
satisfied the applicable requirements of C.R.S. 34 -32 -101 et SeMc . for obtaining a mining and reclamation permit.
Therefore, a permit is being issued. Two signed originals of the permit have been executed. We have kept one copy for
our files and are enclosing one copy for your use. It is your responsibility to comply with all of the terms of the permit.
1. All of the original application materials, as amended and supplemented, are an integral part of your permit. They
have been incorporated into the permit by reference. We presume that you have a copy of all of these materials;
therefore, none have been enclosed with this mailing. We suggest that you keep a copy of the permit and the permit
application at the mining operation as a reference for operating personnel, to help ensure compliance with the terms of the
permit.
2. Changes in the mining and reclamation operations that differ from those described in the permit may require a
modification to the permit. We suggest consulting the Hard Rock/Metal Mining Rules and Regulations and/or contacting
us to determine if a revision to the permit is necessary. Rule 1.10 pertains to Amendments, Rule 1.9 to Technical
Revisions, and Rule 1.11 to Conversions.
3. On your permit anniversary date each year, November 4, you must submit an annual fee and an annual report to
us. The annual fee for this permit is $259.00. Please consult the Act, Rules and Regulations, and your permit for specific
annual report requirements applicable to your mine.
If you have any questions, please contact the Division.
Sincerely,
Loretta E. Pineda
Division Director
