Climax Molybdenum <br /> A Freeport-M.WoRan Company <br /> Description of Site and Reclamation <br /> The Buckskin site (NOI file number P-1980-003) is located approximately 4.5 miles (7.24 km)northwest of <br /> the town of Alma, Colorado, and approximately 750 feet (229 m)south of the USFS Kite Lake trailhead in <br /> Park County, Colorado (Attachment 1). The site is located adjacent to Park County Road 8, a dirt road <br /> used for recreation access to the Kite Lake area and surrounding peaks. The site is located inside of a <br /> user-created campground that was presumably the old drill pad for the borehole. <br /> The September 12, 2013, DRMS inspection report identified two drill holes associated with mining and <br /> prospecting activities. The upper site, KL-2, was originally accessed by an old jeep trail. The road is <br /> currently being used as a hiking trail and it appears stable and vegetated. No evidence of the KL-2 drill <br /> pad, casing, or hole was found during the inspection The lower, KL-1. was described in the DRMS report <br /> as located at the heavily used campground, with a casing protruding from the ground about six inches <br /> above the surface. Much of the site surrounding the casing was devoid of vegetation, presumably due to <br /> continued heavy camping use. The site was largely free of debris and trash. No noxious weeds were <br /> noted. <br /> KL-1 is located at the following GPS coordinates: <br /> 39°19'33.59" N // 106°07'44.23"W <br /> The mineral prospecting drill hole permanent abandonment final report for the KL-1 borehole identified <br /> during the 2013 inspection, including detailed methodology and photo documentation of the closure, is <br /> included in Attachment 2. Final borehole closure was completed on August 24, 2015. <br />
