COLORADO DIVISION OF MINERALS AND GEOLOGY <br />ANNUAL REPORT FOR <br />SPEER MINING RESOURCE <br />M- 1983 -176 AM -4 <br />ASPHALT SPECIALTIES CO., INC. <br />DECEMBER 9, 2012 TO DECEMBER 9, 2013 <br />1. TOTAL ACRES IN PERMIT AREA: 75.5 <br />2. TOTAL PERMITTED MINEABLE ACRES: 57.2 <br />3. CURRENT TOTAL ACRES DISTURBED: APPROX. 53.5 <br />4. TOTAL ACRES MINED DURING REPORT YEAR: 0 <br />5.

APPROXIMATE ACREAGE TO BE RECLAIMED IN NEXT REPORT YEAR: 3.0 <br />This permit site is in the process /stage of reclamation only. There will be no further mining on <br />this site. Amendment AM -4 was approved for this site in the beginning of 2010 allowing for the <br />change in reclamation from a water - storage reservoir to complete backfilling with inert fill, other <br />than a future 7 -acre pond. Approximately 3.5 acres were backfilled during the report year. <br />No seeding or revegatation was implemented on this site during the report year, as the revised <br />reclamation plan is to progressively backfill the site above the water -table first, then backfill <br />further with a more mixed inert fill, before topsoiling and seeding. <br />Currently, the shop building will be left as part of the final reclamation of the site. The office <br />building (an old farmhouse) is currently being used as an office, but ultimately will probably be <br />removed. Reclamation during the next reporting year will be as continued backfill in the <br />southern and central area of the permit site. <br />Sufficiency of Value of Financial Warranty <br />The permittee holds a Financial Warranty for the permit through Travelers Casualty and Surety <br />Company of America in the full amount of $678,169.00, a figure sufficient to achieve all <br />reclamation requirements under the current permit. <br />A check in the amount of $791.00 is being submitted with this report to cover the Annual Fee <br />required to maintain this permit in good standing. <br />
