EXHIBIT I <br />SOILS INFORMATION <br />Based on information verified in the field with drilling and lab testing, the site has an average depth of 6 <br />inches of topsoil with an underlying layer of overburden material that is approximately 10-20 feet thick <br />with sand and gravel beneath the overburden. The thickness of the sand and gravel is approximately <br />35-45 feet thick and has a weathered claystone material beneath. The particle size distributions for the <br />test samples showed there was minimal fines content in the overburden with the vast majority being <br />classified as sand with gravel. Under the Unified Soil Classification System, the overburden is classified <br />as an SM -SC or a silty/clayey sand and the reserve under the overburden is classified as an SP -GP or a <br />poorly graded sand with poorly graded gravel. <br />Drilling for this site was completed in 1985 for the original mine permit and reserves verified in 2014 <br />with the drilling of three additional holes. <br />
