MINED LAND RECLAMATION BOARD 110(1) ANNUAL REPORT For Season 2013 CRYSTALJACK MINING PERMIT NO. M -1993 -030 Prepared: 24 March 2014 Summary: Mechanized equipment was operated on Crystaljack mining properties from 26 to 30 June 2013, using a John Deer 690 at Site 4 on the Ute unpatented mining claim. The area was left open for resumption of work this season. Map Depicting Operations: Attached are maps showing the ten claims covered under this permit, permit M- 1993 -030. The maps show past excavations which have been reclaimed (green), currently open dig sites (shaded orange), which includes the site on the Ute, and proposed dig sites (either a blue button or a rectangle). Current Disturbances (2013): All dig sites on Crystaljack properties have been reclaimed except for access roads and proposed dig sites and the single dig site 4 on the Ute of approximately 0.02 acre. Reclamation SummM (Includes 2013 Reclamation Since this project began in 1993, approximately 4.64 acres have been excavated and reclaimed. All newly reclaimed sites have been reseeded the same season. These sites are then planted with trees the following season. Only Site 6 and Site 7 on the Two Point and recent prospects and reclaimed roads have less than 80 percent growth. Reclamation Completed During g No reclamation was done during season 2013. Proposed 2014 Operations: Operations will be in conjunction with operations on Glacier Peak Mining claims between mid - May through early August. Mechanized operations will be limited to 10 working days on the Crystaljack claims. We will use a John Deere 690 or equivalent on the Ute at Site 4 and at the Qui -Buc No. 1 Claim at Site 13. Maximum size of disturbance will be 1.12 acre but will likely be .4 acre for this season. Additionally, the old access road to Sites on Qui -Buc No. 4 will be closed by installing berms at both ends since this road serves only reclaimed sites and has been closed by the U. S. Forest Service. Site visits, including mineral extraction, reclamation, and claim maintenance will be continued throughout the season.
