If any acid generating or other toxic rock is encountered during mining operations and they <br />have no economic ability to immediately market, such rock will be placed in dry underground <br />openings. If such rock has economic value, it will be placed in sealed transportation <br />containers, as soon as it reaches the surface. Such containers will be removed from the site <br />and sipped to market immediately. <br />No acid forming, or hazardous rocks or minerals have been identified at the Poorman Mine <br />Prospect to date. Based upon the geology of the mine, no hazardous or acid forming rocks <br />are anticipated. <br />• Measures to Minimize the Hydrologic Balance and prevent Off-site Damage <br />Very little is require to prevent off-site damage, safe guard the hydrologic balance and <br />provide stable post reclaimed placement of waste rock. Currently, abundant vegetation is <br />growing around the mine site. The vegetation prevents water from a significant storm event <br />from destabilizing historic waste rock piles that the current facilities are constructed upon. <br />For the future Waste rock containment, a historic road is utilized at the base of the rock <br />placement area that has the correct slop to prevent rock form moving farther down the hill <br />and stop any flow from a significant storm event. <br />• Mineral Processing <br />There will be no processing of ores produced from the mine within the permit area. No other <br />mineral processing plant is currently planned for this operation. Any ore produced will be sold <br />as is and it will be the responsibility of the buyer to obtain appropriate permits. Most likely, ore <br />from this mine will be sold to foreign markets. <br />Reclamation Plan (Exhibit D) <br />• Proposed Land Use <br />The proposed land use for this operation is providing a flat area at the end of an exciting road <br />for multiple purposes. Since the Poorman Mine is leased from the State of Colorado, the <br />intended use may be to allow future leasers access for foresty purposes or for other projects <br />that the State Land Board may lease the land. The State Land Board currently also leases <br />this Parcel of State land for Wind Power Generation Towers, and to the US forest Service for <br />forestry management. The mine site, after reclamation could be used for such activities. For <br />this permitting, The final use of the site will be a flat turnaround spot at the of an existing road <br />that accesses State of Colorado Land. <br />• Overburden Placement <br />I tis not planned to remove or place overburden over an of the waste rock taken out of the <br />mine. Vegetation rapidly grows in the waste rock with very little assistance. The previous <br />waste rock that recently has been deposited on the surface has native grasses and aspen <br />trees thriving in it. <br />• Maximum Slope of Reclaimed surfaces <br />The current slop of the natural hill side that the Poorman Mine Prospect is located upon has a <br />slope of 2.22 to 1.0 (Horizontal to Vertical). The angle of repose that the waste rock currently <br />s <br />
