(1)(e) The mining plan has not yet been developed, as the site is still in "Prospecting" stage. <br /> Assuming mining will occur, then it would be anticipated that all activity would be <br /> conducted underground through the existing adit and shaft shown on the map. Ores and <br /> waste rock would be moved to the surface where waste rock would be deposited on the <br /> waste rock pile. Ore may or may not require some upgrading process and at this time it <br /> can only be speculated whether materials can be economically produced or upgraded. <br /> Movement of materials and personnel on the main adit level will be performed using <br /> rubber tired equipment including load-haul-dumps (LHDs), underground trucks, and <br /> various other conveyances. If other levels might ever be developed, material movement <br /> could be conducted using rubber tired equipment or rail haulage, depending on the results <br /> of exploration and development results. As has been the case historically,recently, and at <br /> the present time, future mining plans would include the use of the existing maintenance- <br /> shop structure, tunnel, vent shaft(s),portable petroleum-powered compressors and <br /> generators. In the future,utilities might be added to the property, to either be used solely <br /> by the project, or to be shared by multiple mining and non-mining users. The use of a <br /> Cryderman on the property is not likely. The rocks found on the property to date, have <br /> been tested and found to be non-acid generating, so no special precautions are anticipated <br /> for handling materials either underground or above ground. Where possible, waste rock <br /> will be deposited in existing, or to be created, underground openings when safe to do so. <br /> At this time, no specific mining plan for removing ores can be developed since the <br /> delineation of any ore bodies has not been completed. It is possible that other incidental <br /> products could be produced at this property if they are discovered. <br /> (1)(f) The Exhibit Map E shows the area included within the permit boundary. The area <br /> contains many prospects,pits, shafts, and adits, including the shaft shown near the south <br /> corner of the Moose claim (MS 9572), and the tunnel portal shown near the north center <br /> of the permit area. The maps show these two features along with other mapped features <br /> in the area along with existing roads that are located within the permit boundaries. The <br /> current temporary shop and storage areas are also shown, all overlaid on a 5-foot <br /> topographic contour map. The area contained within the permit area is 9.3 acres. The <br /> temporary facilities that will be used include a reduction/doghouse area, office, shop area, <br /> and storage. Also included will be an area for storing blasting agents, an area used for <br /> fuel storage, and areas for equipment storage and parking. The fuel storage area will <br /> contain one or more above ground fuel tanks that are anticipated to be located to the west <br /> of the tunnel portal. The tanks will meet current environmental requirements for tank <br /> design and secondary containment. Equipment,parts storage, and vehicle parking are <br /> located on available areas of the mine dump. Surface equipment, if mining is found to be <br /> justified, additional equipment will include: compressors, generators, loaders and other <br />
