Mining method will be surface mining, and will start on northside of site and work towards the <br /> southside. Plan on taking off vegetation, and trees cleared approximately 4 acres for Vt phase.Then <br /> strip topsoil and berm. Then cut pad for processing,approx 1.5 acre, construct berms for safety and <br /> diversion of storm water. Cut a 25' buffer to stay off the railroad grade along the west side of site. <br /> Create and keep positive drainage. <br /> Phase 2 will be cutting and processing approximately 5.93 acres. Constructing and keeping positive <br /> drainage. Excavate and continue to improve slopes <br /> Processing method will be to push material down towards the crusher/screen/haul. Approximately 50 <br /> tons per hour is estimated safe production rate. Working benches 30'/20' and then slope off for safety. <br /> Crush screen and stock plie materials.Start off no highwalls and no blasting until needed to get <br /> materials,then will hire it out and send in review to DRMS and Fee. Granite thickness to be determined <br /> and the consistency partial decomposed granite.The mine will run each season Monday—Friday 8 am- <br /> 5pm, depending on demand of material (exception of BLM required dates off).Two-way radios will be <br /> used for communication. Mining depth we will set bottom elevation at processing area and top <br /> elevation is where we push material down to process,will not go down below bottom elevation. <br /> Ground water is estimated to be 40+feet below bottom elevation. Geotechnical stability will be applied <br /> if occurrence arises(Subject to change). We will not be using ground water,we will haul in water. <br /> Site will have a Cat D9 Dozer to push material to processing area. Komatsu 300 excavator to dig out <br /> materials and load machines. KPI 4233 impact crusher used to process materials. Metso Screen <br /> processing plant used to screen out materials. Koleman stacker used to stack stable stockpiles, and to <br /> get finished materials further away. Cat 938 Loader used to load and stock pile and maintain site for <br /> good housekeeping. Power Screen Marc 3 used to screen materials before processing. Water truck to <br /> maintain roads and keep dust under control,will purchase and haul water from City of Westcliffe. <br />
