January 22, 2015 C- 1994- 082/Yoast Mine JHB <br />Pond 14's embankment. No problems were identified with these two ponds based on the aerial photos <br />Drainages YPM -12, YPM -12A, YPM -14, YPM -18 and YPM -19 were snow covered but visible through the <br />snow. A bare spot was visible just north of YPM -18 that maybe indicative of a slump or a gully forming. This <br />spot should be located in the spring once the snow is off and evaluated. (photo 8007). <br />YPM -4 west of the Pond 13 Slide appears intact through the snow. <br />Drainages YPM -7 and YPM -8 were snow covered but visible. No concerns were noted with these two drainages. <br />YPM -3 -2 and YPM -3 -2A appeared intact through the snow cover. <br />ROADS — Rule 4.03 <br />Construction 4.03.1(3)/4.03.2(3) <br />Drainage 4.03.1(4)/4.03.2(4) <br />Surfacing and Maintenance4.03.1(5) and (6)/4.03.2(5) and (6) <br />Reclamation 4.03.1(7)/4.03.2(7): <br />The mine site is snow covered. It appears that access to the site is limited to snow - machine or by foot. <br />The access road from RCR #27 is not plowed. Tracks visible along this road appear to be from a snow machine. <br />RECLAMATION SUCCESS - Rule 4.15, Rule 3: <br />The North pit reclamation appears windblown with thinner snow cover than observed in the south and <br />western portions of the mine. There are some bare features on the north side of the YPM -10 drainage that should <br />be looked at once the snow is off to identify why these locations are bare of snow. <br />SLIDES and DAMAGE - Rule 4.12: <br />No new areas of instability were noted in the aerial photos. Comparison of photos of the Pond 13 Slide <br />from one year ago, 1/22/2014, and the most recent photo taken 1/22/2015, sees no measurable difference in the <br />size or shape of the slide. <br />TOPSOIL — Rule 4.06 <br />Removal 4.06.2; Substitute Materials 4.06.4(4); Storage and Protection 4.06.3; Redistribution 4.06.4: <br />Reclaimed topsoil pile L was visible. No problems or concerns were identified with this recently regraded <br />topsoil footprint. Snow machine tracks were visible along the north side of this stockpile area. <br />DOCUMENTS RECEIVED NA <br />OTHER (SPECIFY) NA <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 5 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 2 <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />
