R(d*Sh YVM and ftsical P►gmtes—HMI-15,HCO02--14 HCOOX15, <br /> HCO04-14 HCOOS-15,HCW6-15,and HCO07-15 <br /> Page 1 <br /> I. Executive Summary <br /> Strength and physical property tests were conducted on rock core specimens <br /> from boreholes HC001-15, HC002-15, HC003-15, HC004-15, HC005-15, HC006-15, <br /> and HC007-15. The tests carried out for this project include: <br /> i) Uniaxial Compressive Strength, <br /> ii) Bulk Density, and <br /> iii)Specific Gravity <br /> The intent of the testing program is to evaluate the strength and physical <br /> properties of each significant stratum within boreholes HC001-15, HC002-15, HC003- <br /> 15, HC004-15, HC005-15, HC006-15, and HC007-15 to provide input for geotechnical <br /> and rock mechanics calculations. <br /> 11. Introduction <br /> The core specimens were delivered to the laboratory (Geolab) in decent <br /> condition on two separate occasions by FedEx. The first shipment contained Boxes 1, <br /> 2, and 3. When the first shipment arrived at Geolab, the shrink wrap that had been <br /> used to bind the boxes to the pallet had been put under all three boxes, with Boxes 1 <br /> and 2 flipped on their tops. The second shipment contained a single box that was <br /> shrink-wrapped. All boxes were photographed upon arrival to Geolab and can be seen <br /> in Exhibit C. <br /> The individual samples located within the boxes were pre-selected and marked <br /> with a sample number and top and bottom rounded intervals. Two sample lists were <br /> provided by Mr. Eggy Munkhtogoo, a Geologist/Geotechnical Engineer with Norwest <br /> Corporation. The sample lists include the corresponding box number, borehole <br /> number, sample number, top and bottom individual sample depths, and a description for <br /> each individual sample. A combined sample list of all the samples shipped can be seen <br /> in Table 1 in Exhibit C. <br /> Upon arrival to Geolab, the core was photographed, measured, and marked. <br /> Thereafter, a series of uniaxial compressive strength tests were performed on the <br /> selected specimens. The testing and specimen preparation were carried out according <br /> to ASTM standard test procedures. The tests were conducted on a SATEC computer <br />
