6.3.3 (1)(d) <br />The strike length and thickness of the target pegmatites are extremely variable and <br />unpredictable. The discovery and production of mineral specimens from pegmatites is highly <br />speculative. There are no known reserves, defined resources, or even known occurrences of <br />significant marketable specimens on site. <br />Pegmatites at the Ten Percenter range from a few inches of graphic granite to large pegmatite <br />bodies more than twelve (12) feet thick. Only one or possibly two pegmatite -bearing seams <br />may occur in any one locality. While the pegmatite -bearing seams may be consistent for more <br />than one hundred (100) feet, significant pegmatite bodies can pinch and swell over the course <br />of a few feet. The primary targets for exploitation along the pegmatites are miarolitic cavities <br />or'vugs'. These vugs may range from smaller than football sized to more than 6 feet across as <br />evidenced by the discovery of the "Key Hole Vug" on the Ten Percenter Claim in June 1986. The <br />Key Hole Vug measured approximately 8 feet wide by 6 feet high. <br />6.3.3 (1) (e) <br />Please refer to 6.3.5 Exhibit E — Maps for a depiction of all of the proposed disturbance and <br />operation sites described in this section. Other than access, there will not be any mine <br />operation components required for this excavation project. <br />No offices, shop/maintenance buildings, or other plant operations buildings, processing <br />facilities, adits, shafts, or vent raises will be constructed at the site. The crew of up to four <br />people will commute to the area daily during periods of operation. <br />The following steps comprise the current Exploration and Mining Plan: <br />1. Initially mapping & prospecting areas of interest using hand tools only for minor <br />prospect pits and trenching in areas of proposed disturbance proximal to areas of <br />existing disturbance. <br />2. Development of proposed surface disturbance via backhoe/excavator trenching, <br />excavation using hand tools, and sampling of material prior to initiation of small open <br />pit excavating operations. <br />3. IF development work is successful in delineating potential ore material of commercial <br />value, small open pit excavations would begin. Step -wise work would progress: <br />a. by removing and stockpiling topsoils using the excavator blade or bucket, <br />b. limited cross -cut trenching, mapping, sampling, and otherwise preparing for <br />small open pit excavation (i.e., erecting safety fencing or keep -outs if <br />necessary, tree -cutting where necessary, and installation of sediment control <br />measures such as rice -straw batting, straw bales, or geotextile material, as <br />warranted or if necessary). <br />c. Topsoil stockpiles would generally be placed on the uphill periphery of the <br />active prospect or trench to facilitate soil replacement. <br />Reclamation Permit Application for Ten Percenter Claim BLM CMC254209 <br />USFS File Code 2810, USFS MPO-2018-004 <br />
