The mine limits within the Veldman Property is approximately 81 acres. The ongoing <br />reclamation currently taking place within the Veldman Property is being conducted in one phase. <br />4.5 Approximate Timetable <br />Reclamation in the Veldman Property is expected to complete by December 2014, depending on <br />construction progress, weather delays, etc. Reclamation of the various phases within the Ditullio <br />Property is expected to occur concurrently with mining operations and be completed by <br />December 2015, depending on product demand and market conditions. The sequence of <br />reclamation at the Ditullio Property is expected to occur as follows: <br />• Phase 5 <br />• Phase /pond 3 <br />• Phase /pond 4 <br />• Phase /pond 1 <br />• Phase 2 <br />Phase 1 is approximately 5.8 acres and is located in the south central portion of the Ditullio <br />Property. Phase 2 is approximately 12.5 acres and is located due east of Phase 1. Phase 3 is <br />approximately 16.8 acres and is located due north of Phase 1 and 2, in the north middle of the <br />Ditullio Property. Phase 4 is approximately 69.6 acres and is located in the northwest corner of <br />the Ditullio Property. Phase 5 is approximately 9.2 acres and is located due east of Phase 2, in <br />the southeast corner of the Ditullio Property. <br />Phase 5 mining is almost complete and will be backfilled with strippings from Phase 3. Phase 4 <br />will be partially backfilled and followed by Phase 1. Phase 2 is to remain unlined, and will fill <br />with fines developed over the course of mining operations. <br />4.6 Mining Map <br />Figures D -1 show the various phases within the Ditullio Property. The deposit is approximately <br />4 to 18 feet thick. Overburden is approximately 0 to 10 feet thick, and is being stockpiled for <br />backfilling. The approximate mining direction will be from southeast to northwest, as the <br />operator deems most efficient. <br />The stratum beneath the alluvial sand and gravel consists of bedrock. See Section 3.8.3. <br />4.7 Commodities <br />Primary commodities mined within the Three Bells Mine are sand, gravel, and cobble aggregate <br />for construction materials. <br />
