site. At our current rate of extraction, we might remove a cubic yard each five years at <br /> the fastest. <br /> 11. Extraction currently does not involve the use of explosives, but we are interested in <br /> learning about the use of a system called Sierra Blaster, which utilizes small explosive <br /> charges to fracture rock. <br /> 12. The site of extraction will not result in any exposure of tributar ry ground water. <br /> 13. Lost Creek Mining, LLC consists of only the owner-operators of the mine site, and as <br /> such we receive no compensation for the extraction of the minerals. Once extracted we <br /> sell the mineral specimens or the arthewelery items they will become. <br /> 14. We are currently waiting for the approval of our Notice of Intent with the USFS South <br /> Platte Ranger District, to operate for the 2017 mining season. They will review our <br /> reclamation efforts at the end of the season, to determine if we will be required to file a <br /> Plan of Operations, and pay a Bond, for the 2018 season. We have been in direct <br /> contact with Amy Titterington, Head Geologist for Pike/San Isabel National Forests, <br /> South Platte Ranger District, regarding this. We will be happy to provide a copy of the <br /> approved NOI to you when we receive it. In addition to that, we can also write out a <br /> remediation plan and/or sign any sort of form or sworn affidavit which may be required. <br /> As we explained to Ms. Titterington, we are a small two man operation, and we <br /> continually reclaim our relatively small surface disturbances as we continue to explore <br /> and mine the claim. The forest is usually quite good at re-vegetation, but if necessary <br /> we will re-seed with native plant species. We intend to reclaim even the historic pits <br /> which existed before we filed the claim. We truly love and respect our National Forest <br /> and our State of Colorado, so we always follow the principles of leave no trace outdoor <br /> ethics. We intend to leave the land better than we found it. <br /> 15. We have no other permits other than our filing for the lode mining claim with the <br /> Bureau of Land Management and with the Douglas County Clerk and Recorder. <br /> 16. There are no state/federal/local agency participants in terms of funding and design. <br /> 17. We will have no post mining uses of the land. We will make all efforts to return it to <br /> pristine National Forest land. <br /> 18. We currently have no heavy equipment use on this site. <br /> 2 <br />
