Rock She glhandP/ysicalPr____—H0001-15 HQ0D214 D -15, <br />FK3004-15 HC006-15 i1C006-15 and (10007-15 <br />Page 1 <br />L Executive Summary <br />Strength and physical property tests were conducted on rock core spedmens <br />from boreholes HC001-15, HC002-15, HC003-15, HC004-15, HC005-15, HC006-15, <br />and HC007-15. The tests carried out for this project include: <br />i) Uniaxial Compressive Strength, <br />ii) Bulk Density, and <br />iii) Specific Gravity <br />The intent of the testing program is to evaluate the strength and physical <br />properties of each significant stratum within boreholes HC001-15, HC002-15, HC003- <br />15, HC004-15, HC005-15, HC006-15, and HC007-15 to provide input for geotechnical <br />and rock mechanics calculations. <br />II. introduction <br />The core specimens were delivered to the laboratory (Geoiab) in decent <br />condition on two separate occasions by FedEx. The first shipment contained Boxes 1, <br />2, and 3. When the first shipment arrived at Geolab, the shrink wrap that had been <br />used to bind the boxes to the pallet had been put under aN three boxes, with Boxes 1 <br />and 2 flipped on their tops. The second shipment contained a single box that was <br />shrink-wrapped. All boxes were photographed upon arrival to Geoiab and can be seen <br />in Exhibit C. <br />The individual samples located within the boxes were pre -selected and marked <br />with a sample number and top and bottom rounded intervals. Two sample lists were <br />provided by Mr. Eggy Munkhtogoo, a Geologfst/Geotechnical Engineer with Norwest <br />Corporation. The sample lists include the corresponding box number, borehole <br />number, sample number, top and bottom individual sample depths, and a description for <br />each individual sample. A combined sample list of all the samples shipped can be seen <br />in Table 1 in Exhibit C. <br />Upon arrival to Geolab, the core was photographed, measured, and marked. <br />Thereafter, a series of uniaxial compressive strength tests were performed on the <br />selected specimens. The testing and specimen preparation were carried out according <br />to ASTM standard test procedures. The tests were conducted on a SATEC computer <br />
