Re: Topaz Mine, Permit M- 1980 - 055 -HR, Succession of Operators Approval, Revision SO -6
Dear Mr. George Glasier:
On October 21, 2014, the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety approved the succession of operators from
Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. to Pinon Ridge Mining LLC for this operation. Pinon Ridge Mining LLC is now
the permitted operator of the Topaz Mine, and as such, is responsible for all provisions in M- 1980 - 055 -HR, as well as
those specified in the Rules and Regulations. Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. is relieved of all responsibilities
concerning this operation.
Please Note:
1. All of the application materials, as amended and supplemented, are in integral part of your permit. They have
been incorporated into the permit by reference. We presume that you have a copy of all of these materials; therefore,
none have been enclosed with this mailing. We suggest that you keep a copy of the permit and the permit application
at the mining operation as a reference for operation personnel, to help ensure compliance with the terms of the permit.
2. Changes in the mining and reclamation operations that differ from those described in the permit may require a
modification to the permit. We suggest consulting the Rules and Regulations and/or contacting us to determine if a
modification to the permit is necessary. Rule l .10 pertains to Amendments, Rule 1.9 to Technical Revisions, and Rule
1.11 to Conversions.
3. On your permit anniversary date each year, you must submit an annual fee and annual report to us. Please
consult the Rules, Act, and your permit for specific requirements.
The estimated liability amount of $94,791.00 for Topaz Mine has been provided by Financial Warranty Certificate of
Deposit on Bureau of Land Management Land No. 201123538 issued by Citizens State Bank of Ouray.
The transfer of this permit does not result in the transfer of any other permits or licenses, with this Division,
the State, or Federal Agency, which might be associated with this operation.
If you have any questions, contact me.
Sincerely,
M 9�v
