NEWMONT <br />GOLDCORP. <br />based on previous experience at Cripple Creek. If the offset created between benches during mining is <br />greater than 8 feet, inadequate catch -bench widths will be achieved. The offset can be completely avoided <br />by drilling the pre -split row the full double bench height in a single pass. 3. Slopes mined in dump, fill, <br />colluvium, or weathered material should be mined at a continuous 340 slope. <br />3.5 Loading, Hauling, and Selective Handling <br />Loading, hauling and selective handling of ore, ROM, and overburden at the surface operations <br />will be consistent with the permitted process. After blasting and assaying, ore and overburden is <br />designated in the field by the ore -grade control (mine) geologists. Higher grade ore for the HG <br />Mill facilities is designated separately from ore destined for the VLFs. ROM is segregated and <br />hauled directly to the lime/cement silo area where lime or cement is added before being placed <br />on VLFs (as approved in TR -114). Blasted rock is loaded into haul trucks using either rubber tire <br />dozers, front-end loaders or track mounted hydraulic shovels. Ore is hauled to the existing crusher <br />facility, to the high-grade ore storage area, or the ROM stockpile area depending on the field <br />designation. <br />Higher grade ore material mined from surface mine areas will be designated prior to blasting and, <br />to the extent possible, separated and selectively hauled. The higher -grade ore material will be <br />placed in the vicinity of the Main Cresson Mine area and campaigned in weekly batches through <br />the crushing facilities to be fed to the HG Mill. <br />Overburden material is hauled from the mine areas to the ECOSA or hauled as backfill into the <br />Main Cresson, East Cresson, or North Cresson Mine areas. Backfilling will occur in areas <br />following the completion of the mining activities and may be completed concurrent to mining in <br />the same area. <br />TR -104 permitted remining of mineralized waste materials from OSAs. As part of Amendment 13, <br />CC&V plans to process mineralized waste from OSAs where it is economical to do so. Mineralized <br />waste material will be handled the same as ore and will be hauled to the crusher circuit, mixed <br />with lime and hauled to VLFs for processing. Mineralized waste may also be managed as ROM <br />and may be routed to the lime/cement silo prior to placement on VLFs, as approved in TR -114. <br />3.6 Sequence of Development— Underground Mining Areas <br />Underground mining was discussed and approved as part of the Amendment 11 permitting action. <br />Additionally, underground exploration was detailed and approved as part of TR -116. No further <br />changes to those approvals are made under this Amendment 13. <br />Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company <br />Cresson Project Amendment 13 <br />14 <br />Exhibit D <br />
