Dear Mr. Bereuter: <br />Energy Fuels Coal, Inc. (EFCI) is the owner and operator of the Southfield Mine. The Southfield Mine <br />(Mine Site) area is located approximately 8 miles south of Florence, Colorado on County Road 92. <br />EFCI ceased active mining operations in the underground mine in December 2000. Reclamation of <br />mine -related surface disturbance was initiated in August 2001 and substantially completed in August <br />of 2003. The State of Colorado currently holds a cash reclamation bond as surety for final reclamation <br />of all mining and related disturbance areas associated with EFCI's mining operations. <br />Consistent with applicable regulatory provisions, EFCI intends to file an application with the Colorado <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining & Safety (DRMS) requesting partial release of the remaining bond <br />amount associated with the required reclamation work at the Mine Site that has been completed to <br />date. The application will also request release of liability of specific lands and structures within the <br />Mine Site permit boundary. <br />As an interested or potentially affected adjoining property owner, surface owner, or governmental <br />entity, you have the opportunity to access the proposed bond release areas and/or provide comments <br />for the DRMS's consideration in making a determination on EFCFs bond release request. If you have <br />questions regarding EFCI's intended bond release request or wish to access the subject areas you may <br />contact EFCI directly at Energy Fuels Coal, Inc., 115 East Main Street - Suite 10, P.O. Box 459, <br />Florence, Colorado 81226, (719) 784-6395. <br />A public notice regarding this request is being published in the Canon City Daily Record. Following <br />the last date of publication DRMS will schedule and then conduct a bond release inspection. If you <br />wish to file comments or objections, your written comments must be received by the DRMS within 30 <br />days of the last date of newspaper publication or 30 days of the date of this inspection, whichever is <br />later, in order to be considered. <br />Sincerely, <br />Allen S.
