STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN <br /> NEWMONT <br /> VICTOR GOLD MINING COMPANY <br /> higher-grade ore types from the three stockpiles with a front-end loader. Higher grade ore from the reclaim <br /> stockpile will be fed into the grinding circuit with an apron feeder and reclaim conveyor. <br /> Several products may be produced in the HGM facilities: 1) free gold separated in a gravity circuit; 2) a <br /> gold-laden carbon product that will be further processed in the ADR; 3)a high-grade concentrate slurry that <br /> is sent off-site for further refinement, and;4)a ground tailings product containing up to 15%Au content that <br /> will be placed on one of the VLFs for further gold recovery. The second product is produced by flotation <br /> processes and in-tank leaching processes. The third product is separated in the flotation and leaching <br /> processes that is then placed on one of the VLFs where additional gold recovery occurs using the leach <br /> processes. Beginning in 2018, the HGM modified its process and no longer uses cyanide in the milling <br /> process. Due to this change, free gold and gold-laden carbon products are not produced, and only the high- <br /> grade concentrate and tailings are produced from the HGM The HGM facilities use pH modifiers, flotation <br /> reagents, and flocculants, as shown in Section 4.2.1 below. <br /> Reclamation is undertaken as portions of the OSAs are completed and/or other disturbed areas are no <br /> longer needed for operations. Reclamation typically involves grading slopes to blend with surrounding <br /> terrain, placement of topsoil or growth medium, amending the growth medium as-needed, and seeding. <br /> Wood fiber or other mulch may be applied depending on terrain and location. In certain areas, trees and <br /> shrubs are also planted. Reclamation is conducted in accordance with the Mined Land Reclamation Permit <br /> No. M-1980-244 issued by the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board. <br />
