EXHIBIT C: <br /> MINING PLAN <br /> This mining plan is for a proposed mining operation known as the Iron& Wm. Richardson Lode <br /> Claims in Gilpin County, Colorado, 0.4 miles east off Co. Rd. 279 on Druid Mine Road. <br /> Nevadaville Encore, LLC, P. O. Box 1442, Central City, CO 80427, (303)681-1111, attaches <br /> this plan as "Exhibit C" for a Limited Impact (110d) Operation Reclamation Permit Application <br /> No. M-2014-066 with the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety. <br /> Production mining will commence only after approval of the (110d) permit application. Initial <br /> mining work will consist of removal of existing surface "dump" ore from historical mining of the <br /> Iron and Wm. Richardson lode claims. The areas of anticipated disturbance are within the <br /> easternmost 500 feet of the Richardson and 185 feet of the center of the Iron. They total one acre <br /> in area requiring bonding. The Richardson area is completely covered by part of an existing <br /> mine dump. Some crushing, grinding and screening may take place on-site. Druid Road and a <br /> nearby Xcel Energy power line are the only permanent man-made structures on or within 200 <br /> feet of the proposed mine site. <br /> The anticipated maximum ore removal rate will be far less than 70,000 tons of ore per year. A <br /> two-yard diesel front-end loader and a 12-ton tandem-axle end dump truck will be used to <br /> remove the ore once production is permitted and an adequate reclamation bond is posted with the <br /> Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board. <br /> No new roads will be created during this phase of the mining operation. Truck loading will take <br /> place only at safe distances from Druid Mine Road. Impacts on local traffic will be minimal. <br /> Warning signs and traffic control will be used as needed to protect the public. Dust and noise <br /> will be monitored and suppressed as necessary for county ordinance compliance. Photos of <br /> current conditions at the mine site are attached to this permit application. <br /> Ore will be removed in patterns to minimize erosion. Reclamation will be performed in <br /> accordance with state regulations and state botanist's recommendations for seed mix. Topsoil <br /> will be purchased and delivered to bonded areas and spread to cover reclaimable areas to a depth <br /> of 2". An appropriate native plant seed mix will be broadcast over the topsoil for final <br /> reclamation. No overburden will be created or stockpiled at the site. No new on-site water <br /> sources such as ponds, pumps, stream channels, diversions nor dams will be required. No <br /> buildings or processing plants will be erected. A map is attached for this mining plan. <br /> Future mining may include reopening of one or more existing shafts on the Iron and Richardson <br /> to allow for safe underground exploration. Collar construction may include hoists and head- <br /> frames, a field office, a mechanic's shop, and a change-house for miners. New and/or improved <br /> roads may be created to allow for access to these shafts. Any such proposed disturbances will <br /> first be permitted and bonded by modification, if necessary, to this mining plan. <br /> ae,ti gervi,LL (Dec_ T1 2_0 / <br /> Albert J.
