All drilling activities will be conducted on private property: patented lodes, Santiago and <br /> Santiago#1. <br /> 2. Minerals being investigated are gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc. <br /> 3. The amount of material to be extracted will be the core samples at an estimated vein width of <br /> 4 ft. and cut @ 30 degrees estimated 5 ft. to 6 ft. of core. Any additional cores will be buried in <br /> an appropriate pit. <br /> 4. The approximate 0.21 acres of the proposed 0.25 acres to be potentially undisturbed will be <br /> left in place. See drill pad plat <br /> 5. The A.Q. drill core diameter was determined when engineering was considering a much <br /> deeper drill hole.Now that the drill hole is scheduled for 380 feet, a new bit size may be <br /> selected, but the core diameter will not exceed land 3/8 inch. Drill steel to be used has an @ 3 <br /> inch diameter. <br /> 6. Three hundred eighty(380)feet is the scheduled depth. See oblique drawing. <br /> 7. A 3 ft. PVC sleeve will be placed over drill collar and backfilled to grade, leaving <br /> approximately 6 inches to accommodate a threaded PVC cap,this allowing for continued <br /> activities. Permanent abandonment of drill cap will have final backfilling of estimated 6-8 ft. <br /> 8. We commit to burying drill cuttings in an appropriate pit before backfilling the drill site. <br /> 9. Starting on the existing road edge on Santiago ground, a straight flat excavation cut will open <br /> the drill site. Volume of material to be removed is estimated at 233 cubic yards. The areas <br /> determined to be reclaimed will be backfilled with a minimum of two graded classified lifts <br /> using glacial til-clays as top layers according to Best Management Practices. <br /> P <br />
