This site is located <br />about 4 miles north west of Delta, Colorado in Delta County. I, Stephanie Mitchell of the Colorado Division of <br />Reclamation Mining and Safety conducted the inspection.

The Division holds a $32,183.00 <br />bond for the site and is adequate at this time. <br />Adequate mine identification signage was noted at the entrance off of Sundown Road and is in accordance <br />with Rule 3.1.12(1). <br />The permit area is delineated by boundary marker posts and fencing. Material stockpiles and <br />topsoil/overburden stockpiles appear to be stable. Mining is currently taking place in the middle of the permit <br />area and moving in a southeasterly direction. The highwall is estimated at 12 feet deep. 3 acres have been <br />recently graded for final graded for reclamation in the western portion of the permit area. No fuel is being <br />stored at the mine site. A crusher, Loader and 325 B Cat Excavator were on site. <br />There were little or no weeds on site. <br />Overall, no problems were noted on this site. The operation appears to be in compliance with the approved <br />mining plan. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Stephanie Mitchell at the Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd Street, Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado, 81501, <br />phone # 970.242.5025. <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
