EXHIBIT D <br /> MINING PLAN <br /> 6.4.4 (e) An approximate timeline will put us in excavation mode <br /> in about 8 weeks after permit approval and removal of <br /> material in approximately 1 month after that period. This <br /> will be a long term mine. Any reclamation will likely take <br /> place in 3 to 5 years. The mine will be intermittent and <br /> operate less than 180 days per year. Material from this site <br /> will be loaded by loader and hauled with trucks to <br /> county roads. <br /> (i)Topsoil removal should take 4-6 weeks; overburden <br /> removal, another 4 weeks. Material haulage is <br /> estimated at 5 to 10 years. Reclamation is estimated to <br /> take 2 years or two growing seasons, depending on <br /> weather conditions. <br /> (ii)The stages are planned to be in approx..15 acre <br /> increments. <br /> We will start in the southwest corner and work our way <br /> north. As each stage is completed, overburden and <br /> topsoil will be replaced to begin the re-growth process. <br /> As the west side of the mining operation is completed, <br /> mining will move to the north east. <br /> (f) <br /> (i) The topsoil ranges from 1-3 feet. <br /> (ii) Another 10-18 ft. red clay gravel. This material is <br /> located on a red clay bottom. <br />
