Newmont Mining Corporation ■ <br /> Cripple Creek&Victor Gold Mine ■ <br /> Squaw Gulch VLF CQA <br /> NewFields Job No.475.0106.006 <br /> Week Ending Saturday,June 4,2016 <br /> 1.3 Subgrade <br /> Subgrade was prepared for soil liner fill placement. The subgrade was moisture conditioned <br /> (when necessary) and compacted using a 10-ton vibratory smooth drum compactor. Figure 1 <br /> shows the subgrade areas that were inspected and approved by a NewFields' representative. <br /> 1.4 Leak Detection Trench <br /> No work performed during this reporting period. <br /> 1.5 Soil Liner Fill (SLF) <br /> Soil Liner Fill processing continued at the Dump 1 processing plant. Approximately 141,383 dry <br /> tons of material has been processed as of Saturday,June 4, 2016. <br /> Soil Liner Fill (SLF) placement was performed in the areas shown on Figure 2. Subgrade was <br /> approved and moisture conditioned (when required) prior to SLF placement. SLF material was <br /> hauled to the Phase 1 VLF from the Joe Dandy stockpile using CAT 740 haul trucks. The material <br /> was then spread by low ground pressure CAT dozers equipped with GPS. Moisture conditioning <br /> of SLF material was performed in place using a tandem-axel water truck, and compaction was <br /> achieved using a 10-ton vibratory smooth drum compactor. Moisture content verification, <br /> nuclear density testing, and depth verification were performed, with results meeting the <br /> required project technical specifications, prior to accepting the surface for geomembrane <br /> installation. All test locations were surveyed by Ames. <br /> A portion of the SLF material that had been placed during 2015 and left exposed to the <br /> elements over the winter was removed and replaced with new material. An excavator loaded <br /> the saturated material from the 9650 bench into a CAT 740 haul truck, who hauled the material <br /> to waste. <br /> 1.6 Drain Cover Fill (DCF) <br /> Drain Cover Fill (DCF) placement was performed in the areas shown on Figure 4. CAT 740 haul <br /> trucks hauled DCF from the stockpile to the Phase 1 VLF. The DCF was placed in a 2-foot lift on <br /> previously approved geomembrane by low ground pressure CAT dozers. Haul routes consisted <br /> of 4-foot lifts that will be spread into 2-foot lifts at a later date. Ames' laborers were present <br /> during placement to assist in removing debris/sandbags, installing high volumes solution <br /> collection piping, and ensuring that the lift thickness was correct. A NewFields' representative <br /> constantly monitored the DCF placement. <br /> Page 3 <br />
