5// Z <br /> 7. Specify the source of the water and the estimated volume of water to be used. <br /> Our plan is to drill using a rotary air-drill. We will be drilling with compressed air- <br /> water not required. All potable water will be brought in by container, and all waste <br /> water will be removed from the drill site(s). <br /> 8. Please clarify if'10,000 feet'refers to the elevation at which drilling will be conducted. <br /> The 10,000 feet refers to the approximate elevation of the road to the drill pads. <br /> 9. Please confirm that the mill site claim is located on USES property. Also, specify the <br /> number of sheds to be erected and provide the dimensions of the sheds as well as the <br /> materials used to construct the sheds, i.e. corrugated metal, plywood, concrete blocks. <br /> Since the structures will be used in conjunction with the prospecting operation, the <br /> Division must bond for their removal. Finally, describe how the mill site claim is <br /> accessed, is there an existing access road? <br /> The mill site claim is located on Arapaho National Forest land, and is accessed by a <br /> county road down the Snake River valley from Webster Pass to the town of <br /> Montezuma. We will not be constructing or using sheds on the mill site claim, <br /> instead bagging and transporting drill cuttings for study to a warehouse facility in <br /> the town of Silverthorn. <br /> We may want to use a small area of the mill site claim to temporarily store a cache of <br /> supplies such as drill pipe, absorbent pads, and other consumables that will be taken <br /> to the drill site for day-to-day operations. The absorbent pads and the consumables <br /> will likely be stored in a locked trailer supplied by the drilling contractor- Nothing <br /> we plan to store will need to be housed. <br /> 10. Please clarify how the existing drill holes on Webster Pass relate to the proposed Red <br /> Cone project. <br /> Drill hole #3 was put down from a pad at the end of the current road across the rock <br /> glacier,to test for deep molybdenum and copper mineralization; the proposed <br /> drilling will test for near-surface mineralization related to groundwater solution <br /> and re-deposition (see paragraph #2 of response #3 above). <br /> In short,there is no relation between prior drilling and the proposed project other <br /> than spatial reference for geographic location purposes. <br />
