6.4.4(e) An approximate timetable to describe the mining operation
The mine plan has been outlined in the approximate order of operation. The approximate timeline based
on a 5-10 year mine life.
The size and location of each area to be worked in each phase is described above in the detailed phase
discussions.
6.4.4(f) Description of Ore Body and Underlying Stratum
Three types of mineralization are distinguished in the permit area:
• highly disseminated epithermal gold -silver -telluride narrow veins (typically less than five (5) feet
wide);
• limestone replacement deposits; and
• disseminated mineralization in porphyry veins.
Initial mining will occur within the May Day No. 1 sandstone and limestone replacement deposits
associated with the May Day veins. These veins are found within the following Upper Jurassic geologic
units:
• lower part of the Morrison Formation;
• Junction Creek Sandstone;
• Wanakah Formation;
• Entrada Sandstone.
The ore bearing units are underlain by the Dolores Formation (see Exhibit G -Geology). Annually whole
rock samples will be analyzed to determine if toxic or hazardous producing contaminants are of concern
using the methods outlined in Exhibit D Attachment D-3 and D-4.
6.4.4(8) Commodities Extracted
Gold and silver metal bearing ore and associated base metals are planned to be extracted and shipped off
site for processing.
6.4.4(h) Incidental Commodities to Be Extracted
No other incidental economic mining products will be mined.
