RE: Need For State Reclamation Permit: "Is It Mininq?"
1- Devil May Care Lode Claim SW '/ Section 16 and NW %Section 21, Township 9
South, Range 69 West, 6th PM, Douglas County, Colorado. It is 21 miles by road to
Sedalia, CO to the Northeast.
2. The site of material extraction is public property, within the Pike National Forest.
3. We propose to extract crystals of quartz and smoky quartz, amazonite, clevelandite,
feldspar, goethite hematite, topaz, fluorite, and valuable crystals of any mineral species
which can be found within the Pikes Peak Batholith. The site consists of rolling to steep
forested hills with large boulders interspersed. There is a small mostly seasonal natural
stream on the north end of the claim area.
4. All cleaning and processing of extracted minerals occurs off site. Extraction is
currently by handwork only utilizing shovels. picks, hammers, chisels, gads, and other

5. The extracted material will be hauled off site.
6. There is no use of the extracted material on site.
7. The material will be hauled by foot in backpacks to the operator's vehicles parked in
designated spots along Rampart Range Road. The intended use for the material is to be

as parts of other created items for sale.
8. The proposed area of extraction will be small pits in various areas within the entire 20
acre claim which are never expected or planned to exceed one acre of surface
disturbance and which are continually reclaimed as time and mining progresses. The
claimed area several historic pits and trenches which existed before we filed the claim,
which will be explored for crystals, and reclaimed if they are not productive.
9. We intend to follow any pockets or veins as deep as we feasibly and safely can with
hand tools up to and including the point where we may be required to file a Plan of
Operations. However, most excavations will not extend to a depth greater than 10 feet.
10. As the usable material is crystals, very little material is actually removed from the
