RECEIVE® <br /> 2705A Sherman Ave <br /> Monte Vista, CO 81144 CEP 2 0 2017 <br /> September 10, 2017 DIASION OF RECLAMADO <br /> WWGAN0&VW <br /> Re: Goldpark King No. 1 <br /> Notice of Intent to Conduct Prospecting Operations <br /> Ref: USBLM Request for Additional Information dated August 29, 2017 <br /> Keith Berger <br /> Field Manager <br /> Royal Gorge Field Office, USBLM <br /> 3028 E Main Street <br /> Canon City, CO 81212 <br /> Dear Sir: <br /> This memo is in response to your request for additional information. For convenience, I <br /> have included, in italics, the gist of each of the information items sought. <br /> Are the dates of commencement and completion just for the trenching operation, <br /> or do they include reclamation? <br /> The date of commencement is the earliest date at which we anticipate starting <br /> trenching, assuming timely approval by CDRMS and USBLM and no delays due to <br /> inclement weather. The date of completion is the earliest date at which we expect <br /> completion of the entire trenching program and reclamation grading of affected areas, <br /> again assuming timely approval by government agencies and no delays due to <br /> inclement weather. <br /> As this is an exploration/prospecting operation, to be conducted in the fall at 9500 feet <br /> elevation, there is much uncertainty involved. We may decide, based on early results <br /> and weather conditions, to trench at only one site, or two sites, in 2017, and finish the <br /> program, if warranted, in 2018.. <br /> The key factor is this: We will do the grading necessary for reclamation at each trench <br /> location within a week or two after digging the trench and sampling the trench product. If <br /> we can then do the seeding of each affected/graded area before the first hard freeze or <br /> snowfall, we will. Otherwise, seeding will be done at the first reasonable/appropriate <br /> time next year. <br />
