Gravelly sandy loam material which is estimated from 4 to 24 inches in depth will be <br /> stockpiled and preserved in a 16' x 16' x 4' height structure built on-site with logs from trees <br /> cut down during process of mining activity. <br /> (c) Overburden thickness is estimated at<24-28 inches <br /> Waste rock in overburden will be removed and placed in area next to vein during excavation <br /> period then reburied. Vein trench begins immediately at bedrock. Waste rock storage area is <br /> shown on Exhibit E Map Number 2. Wall and waste rock is placed in two (2) large <br /> rectangular holding structures built on-site that would measure roughly 20' x 30' x 6' height. <br /> Holding structures manufactured from plate steel 1/4-inch thickness including both sides and <br /> bottom. These two steel plate holding structures would hold upwards of 7,200 cubic feet <br /> (3,600 cubic feet each) of waste rock. This allows the ability to run material until these <br /> holding structures are full or roughly 30' of trench is opened whichever comes first. During <br /> initial start-up of mining activities the operation would only utilize one of these steel plate <br /> holding structures and run until full before starting the backfilling process. Waste rock will <br /> be covered by tarp(s) during non-activity at mine. <br /> Note: Measurements of 30' length x 10' width by 30' depth is maximum estimates for amount <br /> of open trench at any given time. It's estimated during much of the operation the trench will <br /> be kept closer to 6' to 8' width and 20' to 25' depth. <br /> Teton Drilling Inc. will send ore to the Federal Mill. The Federal Mill is located in Adams <br /> County at 3060 W. 58th Ave., Denver, CO 80221 and managed by Paul Danio. <br /> Note: When not processing ore on-site at the Dixie Mine there is no need for metal holding <br /> structures to hold waste rock and ore. <br /> (d) Thickness of deposit to be mined <br /> The primary vein values vary from 6 inches to 3 feet in width according to historical records. <br /> Primary means to access vein material is an excavator. The limiting factor of ability to access <br /> vein depth is reach of excavator that is near 20 feet to 30 feet maximum depth. Estimated <br /> width of area excavated is 6 feet to 10 feet as noted on Exhibit E Map Number 2. <br /> (e) Major components of mining operation <br /> • Mining road connecting from Ute Creek Rd. to location of vein as shown in Exhibit E <br /> Map 1. Road dimension to EMSHA requirements of 20 feet. <br /> • 10 x 24 Storage Shipping Container. <br /> • Processing facilities shown in Exhibit E Map Number 3: <br /> Teton Drilling Inc. <br /> Dixie Mine-Clear Creek County,CO <br /> Updated Revisions—March 12,2016 <br /> Page I 6 <br />
