These costs were obtained from <br />the April 20, 2015 Circes estimate Task J09 Scraper haul. <br />- It appears the KLM pit disturbed area is increasing in size as a result of TR115. The <br />reclamation cost estimate Table A-11.1 in Appendix A, shows a cost for reclaiming 490.3 acres <br />for the KLM pit. Please update this table to account for the increase in acreage of the KLM pit. <br />Trappers Response: The 154.0 acres that were added to the topsoil placement in table A- <br />10.6 were included in table A-11.1 (Summary of estimated revegetation quantities and <br />costs) as well. The cost for these additional acres was calculated from the April 20, 2015 <br />Circes estimate task K12 ($516.93/acre). <br />In summary, the items discussed previously, and their respective costs, were input to a <br />cost spreadsheet that compares the current Bond Liability (from the Circes Estimate) to <br />what the updated Bond estimate would be with the additions. <br />The attached table Appendix A Amendment: TR -115 results in an increased bond liability <br />of $332,103.72 which includes "Indirect Costs". If we add this amount to the current <br />bond liability (from Circes), we arrive at the following liability for Trapper Mine: <br />July 20, 2015 Bond (Circes est. liability) $23,016,528.92 <br />Additional liability due to the listed additions: $ 332,103.72 <br />Total new liability $23,348,632.64 <br />New Building <br />Please provide details about the concrete perimeter foundation for the new building. Please <br />provide the dimensions of this foundation. <br />Please update Table A-12.1, in Appendix A to include the new proposed building. <br />Trapper Response: Designs for the blaster's building are attached as Figures I and 2, depicting <br />the building and foundation details for your reference. Appendix A will be amended with the <br />included table with updated bond calculations for the increased liability of the structure. <br />
