6.3.3 Exhibit C —Mining Plan <br /> Mine Overview <br /> The proposed mining plan is a 110(1) Limited Impact Operation of<5 acres. This is a small <br /> operation removing limited amounts of a thin vein that varies from 6 inches to 3 feet in width <br /> using an excavator. Total length of trench is<350 feet in length with majority of trench less than <br /> 6 to 10 feet in width. <br /> The amount of material removed is estimated between 300 to 1,500 cubic yards per year. Total <br /> operation is estimated at less than 3,000 to 4,000 cubic yards over the life of the limited impact <br /> operation. It would be worth noting that a large mining operation removes this amount of <br /> material in just a few days. This proposed mining operation plans to carefully remove this <br /> amount of material over several years. <br /> A few notes on this mine: <br /> • No large mining trucks utilized <br /> • All material processed on site using a recycled water system <br /> • No dangerous chemicals and No leaches <br /> • No explosives <br /> • All material removed by an excavator and hand sorted <br /> • Top Soil and Waste Rock separated and stored in different locations <br /> (a) Specify estimated dates that mining will commence and end <br /> Proposed date for mining commencement is March 31, 2016 with end date on or before July <br /> 1, 2025. <br /> (b) Estimated depth of soil <br /> All topsoil above bedrock which is estimated 2-4 inches will be stockpiled and preserved. <br /> Topsoil is to be stockpiled as shown in Exhibit E Map Number 2. The topsoil is placed in a <br /> rectangular structure built on-site with logs from trees cut down during process of mining <br /> activity measuring roughly 8' x 8' x 4' height. Top soil will be covered by tarp(s) during non- <br /> activity at mine. Top soil is to be used for berms, roads and to cover backfill from trenching. <br /> Note: Top soil stored in bins will be used for covering trench backfill. <br /> As part of the mining plan the topsoil removed will be replaced from original position within <br /> 180 days of removal with the exception during winter months. <br /> Teton Drilling Inc. <br /> Dixie Mine-Clear Creek County,CO <br /> Updated Revisions—February 4,2016 <br /> Page I 5 <br />
