2. Project Description — 43 CRC` 3809.401(b) (2)
2.1. Legal Description and Surface Ownership
[43 OF 3809.401 (b) (2) (i)]; The proposed project is located in Sections 2, 3, 4, 10 and 11,
Township 43 North, Range 4 West, and Sections 34, 35, Township 44N, Range 4 W, New Mexico
Principal Meridian, Hinsdale County, Colorado. The proposed project is located on public lands
administered by the BLM. The project location and surface land status are shown in Figures 1
and 2, respectively.
2.2. Existing Disturbance
[43 CRF3809.401 (b) (2) (i)]; Pre-existing disturbance, as currently known, is shown in Figure 2.
Pre-existing disturbance includes historic roads, trenching and prospecting in the Golden
Wonder mine area and existing two -track access roads in the project area. Kinross has no
previous tenure on the property.
2.3. Project Description
[43 CRF 3809 401 (b) (2) (i)]; The Plan is for mineral exploration drilling. A total of 4 drill sites
are proposed. Access to the 4 proposed drill sites will be as shown on Figure 2 on existing
roadways. No new access roads are proposed. Figure 3 presents the location of the proposed
disturbance, and Table 1 presents the proposed disturbance for the project. A maximum of 12
drill holes are proposed from the 4 proposed drill sites.
Table 1: Proposed Disturbance
worKing areas for anu saes are planned to be 50 feet wide by 50 feet long and will use existing roads
alignments where practicable.
2 No new access roads are proposed.
2.4. Proposed Operations/Activities
[43 CRF3809.401(b)]; Mineral exploration activities, including exploration drilling and sampling,
constructed drill sites, and reclamation of surface disturbance, are proposed for the project.
The following sections describe general operating procedures, construction techniques, and
equipment that are anticipated for the project. Multiple drill holes may be completed from
each of the 4 drill pads using a wireline, truck -mounted or track mounted core rig. Drill holes
may be both vertical and angled, with average drill depths of approximately 1000 feet.
