Compliance with Mine Plan <br />PROBLEHIPOSSIBLE VIOLATION: Problem: Ponded solution was observed on the Arequa <br />Gulch Valley Leach Facility. <br />CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: The Operator shall mitigate the cause of the ponded solution and <br />submit photographs as proof that the solution has percolated into the pad. <br />CORRECTIVE A CTION D UE DATE: 7109115 <br />CC&V has addressed the ponding of barren solution on the road to the Phase 5 pumps on the <br />Arequa Valley Leach Facility listed in the findings of Elliott Russell's inspection report. <br />Upon examination, the root causes were determined to be drip lines that were too long and came <br />to the edge of the road. The knotted end of several drip pipes had broken so that solution could <br />simply flow out the end. Finally, the road was a compact surface that had settled which <br />facilitated ponding. <br />
