s <br /> Exhibit RECES`d"=D <br /> Mining Plan <br /> Potts Pit#2 FEB 0 1 2006 <br /> Division of Minerals and Geology <br /> A. Topsoil will be stripped and stockpiled to be used as plant growth medium at <br /> reclamation time. Overburden will be removed and stockpiled to be used in <br /> reclamation of any slopes. <br /> B. After the Topsoil and Overburden are stockpiled in separate piles for use at the time of <br /> reclamation, rubber tired loaders will excavate the open pit. Materials will be dumped <br /> into a crusher. The material will be processed, screened and conveyed to stockpiles. <br /> C. No water diversions or impoundments are anticipated at this site. <br /> D. Mining will be performed in areas of land up to 17 acres per phase. <br /> E. Open pit mining will be performed in phases with each phase consisting of topsoil <br /> excavation and stockpiling; overburden excavation and stockpiling; excavation of <br /> deposit; reclamation of disturbed area replacing overburden from stockpiled portion; <br /> reclamation of stockpiled topsoil; compaction and reseeding. The next phase will <br /> begin upon the commencement of reclamation of the first phase. Phase I is <br /> approximately 17 acres and will be mined first. Once it is mined, reclamation will start <br /> and we will move the mining operation to Phase 11,which is approximately 16 acres. <br /> After both Phase I and Phase 11 have been mined and reclamation has started, we will <br /> move the mining operation to the final Phase III. Phase III is approximately 16 acres in <br /> size. At that point we will relocate the landowner's livestock facilities to another <br /> location and proceed with mining operations in Phase III. Before Phase III begins, we <br /> will have the landowner's permission. <br /> F. Topsoil = 6" <br /> Overburden =Up to 5' <br /> Deposits = Up to 20' <br /> G. The primary commodities are aggregate for asphalt and base course. The secondary <br /> commodity is embankment fill/borrow. <br /> H. None. <br /> I. No explosives will be used in this operation. <br />
