Newmont Mining Corporation <br /> Cripple Creek&Victor Gold Mine ■ <br /> Squaw Gulch VLF CCLA <br /> NewFields Job No.475.0106.006 <br /> Week Ending Saturday,July 23,2016 <br /> 1.5 Soil Liner Fill (SLF) <br /> Soil Liner Fill processing continued at the Dump 1 processing plant. Approximately 177,854 dry <br /> tons of material has been processed as of Saturday, July 23, 2016. The previous week's tonnage <br /> was incorrectly reported as dry tons when it was actually the quantity of wet tons. <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 local stockpiles using CAT 740 haul trucks. The material was <br /> then spread by low ground pressure CAT dozers equipped with GPS. Moisture conditioning of <br /> 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 /> 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 volume solution <br /> collection piping, and ensuring that the lift thickness was correct. A NewFields' representative <br /> constantly monitored the DCF placement. <br /> 1.7 Riprap <br /> No work performed during this reporting period. <br /> 2.0 GEOSYNTHETICS <br /> 2.1 Geogrid <br /> No work performed during this reporting period. <br /> 2.2 Geomembrane Installation <br /> Geomembrane installation continued within the Phase 1 SGVLF in the areas shown on Figure 3. <br /> Approximately 186,543 square feet (P-2045 to P-2110) of 80 mil LLDPE (double sided texture) <br /> was deployed. Subgrade was inspected and approved by NewFields and ECA representatives <br /> prior to geomembrane deployment. Approximately 8,979 linear feet of seam was fusion welded <br /> Page 3 <br />
