No operator was <br />present during the inspection. The site is a 112d -3 gold mine located between Cripple Creek and Victor in <br />Teller County. <br />The aerial photos were taken on March 30, 2015. The purpose of the inspection was to provide the Division a <br />broad perspective that cannot be obtained from the ground and to document changes in areas of the mine <br />experiencing rapid change. The Division expects to perform aerial inspections quarterly. <br />The following table summarizes the attached photos: <br />Photo ID <br />Mine Facility <br />Perspective <br />Notes <br />Photo 1 <br />Wildhorse Extension Pit <br />Looking SE <br />8 benches and pit floor, ECOSA <br />(WHEX) <br />beyond <br />Photo 2 <br />Drain Cover Fill stockpile <br />Looking east <br />Stockpiling for SGVLF, note <br />sloughing into SGVLF Phase 1 <br />diversion channel <br />Photo 3 <br />East Cresson OSA ( ECOSA) <br />Looking ESE <br />SGOSA to right, EMP 9 A, B, C <br />&, D in foreground <br />Photo 4 <br />South Cresson <br />Looking <br />Arequa Gulch VLF in <br />west <br />background. <br />Photo 5 <br />Main Cresson Pit <br />Looking NW <br />Squaw Gulch OSA beyond <br />Photo 6 <br />Arequa Gulch VLF <br />Looking NE <br />New Mill on left, Crusher in <br />center, ADR on lower right <br />Photo 7 <br />New growth medium stockpile <br />Looking NE <br />North end of SGVLF on right <br />#34 <br />Photo 8 <br />Squaw Gulch OSA <br />Looking <br />DCF stockpile in foreground, <br />south <br />New mill and SGVLF to the <br />right <br />Photo 9 <br />Squaw Gulch VLF (SGVLF) <br />Looking NE <br />Completed PSSA and fill in <br />riser area <br />Photo 10 <br />New Stormwater Ponds: <br />Looking SE <br />New construction <br />EMP9A,B,C &,D <br />Acronyms: <br />PSSA — Pregnant Solution Storage Area <br />OSA — overburden storage area <br />VLF — valley leach facility <br />The observed sloughing from the DCF stockpile into the Phase 1 SGVLF diversion channel needs to be checked <br />on the ground.
