EXHIBIT D <br /> MINING PLAN <br /> Mining is anticipated to commence on February 21, 2015, and continue thru February 21,2025 or <br /> until the deposit is depleted.The mining will begin at or near the western boundary of the proposed <br /> mining operation.The mine will be mined in several phases not to disturb more than 15+/-acres at <br /> any one time.The topsoil will be stripped and stockpile at the western perimeter.The top soil piles <br /> will be graded to a maximum 3-1 slope and seeded with native grass to prevent erosion.After a <br /> phase a partially mined, reclamation will begin as to have a rolling mining/reclamation process going <br /> on simultaneously to obtain a disturbance of not more than 15+/-acres. It is estimated that it will <br /> take 10 to 12 months for each stage as identified in the mining plan maps.There is no over burden <br /> below the top soil and all material will be used in the finished product.The deposit is estimated to <br /> be 12 ft. in depth across the mining area.The total affected area is 103.54 acres+/-.There will be no <br /> ground water encountered by the mining process nor will any surface water be affected. No storm <br /> water run-off will be produced as the disturbed site will be burined and all storm water will be <br /> retained in a catch basin where water will be allowed to percolate back into the ground within 72 <br /> hours. I believe no Colorado water rights will be affected or damaged by this mining operation. <br /> Commodities to be extracted will be sand and gravel to be used as construction materials. No <br /> explosives will be used in conjunction with the proposed mining operation. Below is a list of the <br /> phases of the operation and the anticipated mining duration. <br /> Phase 1: 9.18 acres 11 months <br /> Phase 2: 8.48 acres 10 months <br /> Phase 3: 12.51 acres 12 months <br /> Phase 4: 10.01 acres 11 months <br /> Phase 5: 8.82 acres 10 months <br />
