Annual Report— 2016 <br /> Climax Molybdenum Company - Climax Mine <br /> Highway 91 — Fremont Pass <br /> Climax, Colorado 80429 <br /> Permit No. M-1977-493 <br /> According to C.R.S. 34-32-116, each year, on the anniversary date of the permit, an operator <br /> shall submit the annual fee, an annual report and map showing the extent of current <br /> disturbances to affected land, required monitoring information, reclamation accomplished to <br /> date and during the preceding year, any new disturbance that is anticipated to occur during the <br /> upcoming year, the dates for the beginning of active operations, and the date active operations <br /> ceased for the year. <br /> The 2016 Annual Report for Climax Mine (Climax) follows the format of the questionnaire that <br /> was included with the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety's (DRMS) Annual Fee Invoice <br /> and Report Request letter dated February 1, 2017. Climax's responses to the questionnaire are <br /> provided below. A signed copy of the questionnaire is in Appendix 1 and other supporting <br /> documentation including reclamation maps, environmental monitoring data, weed control, and <br /> tailing storage facility stability information are included as Appendices 2, 3, 4, and 5, <br /> respectively. <br /> Climax Responses to DRMS Annual Report Questionnaire <br /> 1. Yes. There is an identification sign posted on the east facing wall of the Climax main gate <br /> house that is visible from the entrance road. <br /> 2. Yes. Although boundaries are not marked in remote areas that are generally inaccessible <br /> due to the rugged terrain of the site, property boundaries at potential public access points <br /> are marked with Do Not Enter and No Trespassing signs. The Climax affected land <br /> boundaries also are clearly delineated on publically available maps distributed with the AM- <br /> 06 application; Climax believes that signage at public access points together with the AM-06 <br /> maps meet the intent of Rule 3.1.12(2) and (3). <br /> 3. No. Climax is not in final reclamation. <br /> 4. Excavation, hauling, processing, and tailing deposition activities are currently ongoing at <br /> Climax. <br /> 5.
