Mining,and Safety <br /> 1313 Sherman Street. Room 215 <br /> Denver, CO 80203 <br /> RE: Revenue-Virginius Mine Information Center" <br /> The Revenue Mine(the Mine), located 5 miles southwest of Ouray, CO,which is owned and <br /> operated by Ouray Silver Mines Inc. (OSMI)under permit M2012032(Permit). OSMI,as part <br /> of our commitment to stakeholder outreach, education, and historic preservation, intends to build <br /> a Revenue-Virginius Mine Information Center on patented claims on the north side of County <br /> Rd. 26. The location is outside of our current permit boundary (see attached map)on patented <br /> mining claims(Lincoln. Moltke. and Ottowa)owned by OSMI. <br /> The Revenue-Virginius Mine Information Center will give both tourists and locals accurate <br /> information regarding the mining legacy of the area and the current status of the mine. The <br /> Information Center location provides a good, safe, view of the mine which cannot be achieved <br /> by stopping and walking along the road as is the current practice. <br /> No mining will occur at the Information Center. Disturbance will be limited to a 3' by 5' steel <br /> sign supported by steel posts buried in compacted ground. The sign will be sheltered by an 8' by <br /> 10' picnic shelter supported by four 4"by 6"posts buried in compacted earth and covered with <br /> corrugated steel. An adjoining picnic table and trash can will complete the overlook. Mine <br /> employees will manage the site. The plan has been discussed with both the United States Forest <br /> Service and Ouray County,and has been well received. The area is adjacent to the current <br /> aggregate stockpile for County road use and a one way road already leads to the area. <br /> Please let us know if the DRMS has any concerns regarding the Revenue-Virginius Mine <br /> Information Center. OSMI hopes that this effort will provide give people a safe and educational <br /> place to stop and view the mine. <br /> Sincerely. <br /> (Qa� q al� <br /> Clinton L. Fletcher <br /> President.
