Mr.Michael Cunningham 2 <br /> CDRMS <br /> October 27,2014 <br /> Subsequently, on 28 May 2014 UMC submitted a proposal ("Leadville Mill, M1990-057, <br /> Proposed Monitoring Well Locations"). The proposal was to construct Monitoring Well (MW) <br /> No. 2 as the down-gradient well at the extreme southwest corner of the property, and MW-3 as <br /> the up-gradient well northeast of the TSF near our lower mill access road. Locations are shown <br /> on our updated Exhibit 6-2 also provided in the 281h May Proposal. <br /> UMC received a verbal "OK" accepting the proposal; however no formal letter was received by <br /> UMC. <br /> UMC, applied and obtained permits from the State Engineer (Permit 295655 for MW-2, and <br /> 295654 for MW-3) on 11 September 2014. Copies of the permits are provided in Attachment <br /> No. 2. We then secured a drilling contractor who completed the work on 14 October 2014. <br /> UMC completed the monitoring well project on 24 October 2014 by installing well pumps. <br /> UMC will collect and submit for testing its first water samples from MW-2 and MW-3 during the <br /> fourth quarter of 2014. Results will be presented to the Division in our annual reports. <br /> Photos of MW-2 and MW-3 are provided below. <br /> MW-2, Down-Gradient Well MW-3, Up-Gradient Well <br /> Exhibit C, Construction Schedule <br /> Delays associated with the final construction and operation of the mill continues to be influenced <br /> by poor metals market conditions. However, UMC is in discussion with two (2) potential <br /> investor/funding partners. Our goal is to complete these negotiations with one of these possible <br /> funding avenues and complete construction of the TSF during Q2 2015. Our current schedule <br /> to complete the TSF is: <br /> Activity Date Duration Inspection <br /> General Site Preparation May 18 - May 19 2 days No Inspection <br /> Finalize Embankment Construction May 20 — May 26 5 days B CDRMS <br /> Geos nthetic Clay Liner Installation May 27 —Jun 4 7 days B CDRMS <br /> Impoundment Liner Installation May 27—Jun 4 7 days Incl. with above <br /> Slope Ballast Installation Jun 8—Jun 12 5 days CDRMS Optional <br /> Tailings Slurry Piping, Decant Water Pumps Jun 8 —Jun 12 5 days No Inspection <br /> Historic Tailings Placement Jun 15 —Jun 26 10 days CDRMS Optional <br /> Note: Schedule assumes 5 working days per week. <br />
