Images were analyzed and the report prepared by me, Robin Reilley also of the DRMS. As this <br />was an aerial inspection no Keenesburg Mine representative was present. Main haul roads appeared in good repair, <br />no hydrologic or air quality issues were detected in the imagery. The weather appeared clear. <br /> <br />INSPECTION: <br />GENERAL MINE PLAN COMPLIANCE: <br /> <br />It appears that backfilling and grading operations were taking place at the time of inspection (photo 4). <br /> <br /> Photo 1: Mine site overview. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
