RE: Notice of Intent to Conduct Prospecting Application; Red Cone; File No. P- 2014 -003;
Notice of Deficiencies
Dear Mr. Caccamise,
On February 28, 2014, the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) received the
Notice of Intent (NOI) to Conduct Prospecting Application for Red Cone, File No. P- 2014 -003.
The Application was filed for review on March 17, 2014. Our review indicates the NOI
application contains deficiencies as defined by Rule 5.1.3 of the Mineral Rules and Regulations
of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for Hard Rock, Metal, and Designated Mining
Operations. The Division requires the information described below before we can approve the
NOI application.
1. The Application was submitted by `Sierta LLC'. A search of the Colorado Secretary of State
(SOS) website found that `Sierta LLC' is not a registered company in the state of Colorado.
The Division cannot issue an NOI to `Sierta LLC' until the company has been registered with
the SOS. You many register the company name at http: / /www.sos.state.co.us /. Please provide
the Division with documentation the Sierta LLC has been registered with the SOS.
2. The Applicant listed `individual' for the Title on the Page 9 of the Application form. If the
Application is being applied for in the name of Sierta LLC, then the Title should reflect the
information provided on Page I of the Application form. Please revise the Title field on Page
9, of both Form 1 and Form 2, from `Individual' to `President of Sierta LLC'.
3. The Applicant has stated that the mineral(s) to be investigated are sources of metal
contamination of water in Handcart Gulch. The Hard Rock Rules define prospecting as the
act of searching for or investigating a mineral deposit. The definition of prospecting includes,
but is not limited to, sinking shafts, tunneling, drilling core and bore holes and digging pits or
cuts and other works for the purpose of extracting samples prior to the commencement of
development or extraction operation. It is not apparent that your proposed activity will
require an NOI. Please clarify the intent of this project and specify if, in addition to searching
