RECLAMATION COSTS EXHIBIT L <br /> 1.0 Gold Operation <br /> Most of the gold mine disturbance will be reclaimed as mining continues and reclaims behind the <br /> advancing cuts. The plan allows for one cut in some stage of stripping, another in the stage of extracting <br /> gravel to send to the gold plant and another in some stage of reclamation. No new mining cut can be <br /> stripped if reclamation is more than two cuts behind. The status of the cuts will be documented in the <br /> annual report. The operator recognizes that in the event of revegetation of reclaimed cuts being <br /> determined to have failed,DRMS may raise the bond as it deems appropriate. <br /> The worst case reclamation scenario occurs at the end of mining. At the end of gold mining, 20.0 acres <br /> of rangeland area will need to be regraded; requiring the movement of 67,050 cy. As explained above, <br /> the mill building will remain as a horse barn for the post-mine residential use. The east portion of the <br /> office/shop building will also remain as a tack storage for the horse barn. All other buildings from the <br /> gold operation will be removed, however, power poles and some roads will remain, as shown on Maps <br /> F-1 and F-2. <br /> Approximately 23.1 acres will need to be retopsoiled and revegetated for the worst case. <br /> Three (3) acres seeding and mulching are included in the bond in case revegetation fails on any of the <br /> new mining cuts. Since the larger of the cuts are roughly 1.5 acres,this is enough bond to revegetate two <br /> cuts at any time. <br /> As of January 2015,the bond has been recalculated by the Division to be $200,878. <br /> Bond calculations are enclosed on the following pages. <br /> The tasks and costs for the worst case reclamation scenario are given below: <br /> Alma Place Mine 01/15 79 <br />
