COMMENTS
This was a partial inspection of the Trapper Mine; permit C1981010, operated by Trapper Mining Inc.
The inspection was conducted aerially by Brock Bowles, the images were analyzed and the report
prepared by me, Robin Reilley of the DRMS. Skies appeared clear. Active mining was taking place in
the L, N pits. No activity was apparent in the imagery at the J Pit at the time of inspection. Coal was
being hauled. One dragline was working and one was idle in L Pit.
