The Application was filed for review on April 7, 2016. Our review indicates the <br /> Application contains deficiencies as defined by Rule 5.1.3 of the Mineral Rules and Regulations <br /> of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for Hard Rock, Metal, and Designated Mining <br /> Operations. The Division requires the information described below before we can approve the <br /> NOI Application. <br /> 1. Please confirm that site access will be on a US Forest(USFS) Service system road which has <br /> been inventoried and maintained. Roads which have not been inventoried or maintained by <br /> the USFS may be required to be fully reclaimed. <br /> 2. The Applicant has stated the proposed surface disturbance will occur on an existing tailings <br /> pile. Tailings are defined as a part of the waste stream generated from the milling process and <br /> typically they resemble a finely ground sand-like material. The pictures of the site which <br /> were submitted with the application seem to resemble waste/development rock. Please clarify <br /> if the material is from mine development or the result of milling. <br /> 3. The Applicant has stated a trench will be excavated to access the mine adit. The Division <br /> records indicate that the mine feature present at this site is an inclined shaft,which was <br /> completely backfilled. The dimensions of the inclined shaft were 5' x 9' 30'(depth). The <br /> Division records also indicate the inclined shaft was fully backfilled with approximately 50 <br /> cubic yards of material. In order to access the entire shaft, the Applicant will need to <br /> excavate 50 cubic yards of material. Please indicate if the entire volume of backfilled <br /> material will be excavated. If the entire volume of backfilled material will not be excavated, <br /> then specify the total volume of material (in cubic yards) which will be moved. <br /> (iSiTcozo <br /> vi Vic.;- o <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mining.state.co.us '* 4 kg >? <br /> John W.
