Y � <br /> environmental quality by reversing environmental challenges brought on by historic <br /> mining practices. <br /> What is and has been mine spoils of days gone by will be source material or <br /> feedstock for GTM. GTM is designed to extract precious metals that will be shipped <br /> to Utah for final refining. The historic byproducts will be chemically characterized for <br /> use in the construction industry as concrete sand or utility installation backfill <br /> material; to name two possibilities. <br /> GTM will be protective of the environment today while eliminating potentially <br /> environmentally impactful historic mine residues. The mill will process the feedstock <br /> into three products: precious metal containing concentrate, construction industry <br /> material and process water. The concentrate will be packaged for shipping to the <br /> refiner. The construction fines will be stockpiled awaiting delivery to the final end <br /> user. The process water will recirculate to the ball mill. <br /> NEI intends to become the solution for managing legacy mine spoils from <br /> both closed and operating mines. Rather than containing these materials in <br /> impoundments and stockpiles that not only have the potential to impact the <br /> environment but also do not contribute to responsible land use, the materials will re- <br /> enter the economy as secondary resources. <br /> Enclosed is a check for the application fees.
