EXHIBIT D MINE PLAN <br /> 1. General Mining Plan <br /> Map C-1 shows the current conditions of the Young Ranch Resource; all maps are located in <br /> Appendix 1. Mine access is via the CCP from Interstate 70. The total mined area will be 248.9 <br /> acres, the total affected and disturbed area to be reclaimed is 335.1 acres, and the permitted <br /> acreage will be 469.7 acres. <br /> The Young Ranch Resource Quarry will produce gravel and metamorphic rock derived <br /> construction materials. Mining activities are expected to occur all months of the year and <br /> processing operations, which include washing (optional), screening and crushing of gravel, will <br /> occur concurrently. Mining will occur to the phase limits shown on Map C-2 and will progress as <br /> shown on the Exhibit C maps. <br /> Expected annual average production is 1,000,000 tons during the first phase of mining. During <br /> phase 2-5, the Young Ranch Resource will produce between 2-3.5 million tons annually. Actual <br /> production rates will fluctuate based on market conditions. Raw material will be processed and <br /> sold as various commodity products: crushed rock, chip, ballast, riprap, landscape materials, and <br /> road base. "Naturals" or sandy fines from the screening operation are expected to make up <br /> approximately 15-30% of the raw material mined and when unsold, will be disposed of in the <br /> site's main waste rock landform (WRL) or reused as substitute growth medium and overburden <br /> during reclamation. The WRL will be located northeast of the site on the east side of the CCP <br /> (Maps C-2 through C-7 and F-1). Access to and from the WRL is detailed later in Exhibit D. <br /> The site is partially bound by fencing, which may be modified or expanded during various <br /> phases of mine development. The entire boundary of the site will be signed but may remain <br /> unfenced. Prior to opening a new mining phase, the operator may install fencing designed to <br /> segregate cattle grazing in the western adjoining parcels from the mining area. The wildlife <br /> corridor may not be fenced on the northern edge adjacent to the active mining areas while the <br /> southern boundary of the wildlife corridor will likely be fenced along the CCP and additional <br /> wildlife mitigation structures installed during phases of the mine's development. The Ecological <br /> Resources Consultants, Inc. (ERC) Wildlife Mitigation Plan included in Appendix 2 details <br /> specific wildlife mitigation structures and their phased installation relative to mining. <br /> Young Ranch Resource <br /> Lewicki&Associates <br /> December 2021 D-1 <br />
