On Page 3 of the NOI form, the Prospector indicates the land ownership as private. Pursuant to <br /> Rule 5.1.2(d)(iv), please provide documentation of the legal right to enter to conduct prospecting <br /> and reclamation,for Owners of Record described in Rule 1.6.2(1)(e)(i). This may include a copy of <br /> a lease, deed, abstract of title, a current tax receipt, or a signed statement by the Landowner(s) <br /> and acknowledged by a Notary Public stating that the Prospector has legal right to enter to <br /> conduct prospecting and reclamation. <br /> Documentation proving the legal right to enter to conduct prospecting and reclamation is enclosed as <br /> Attachment A. This documentation consists of a Land Patent from the United States of America to AMAX, <br /> Inc. as further detailed in Exchange Survey 377, and a quit claim deed from AMAX, Inc. to the Climax <br /> Molybdenum Company for said land. The coordinates above are located in the NW'/4 SE %of Section 19 <br /> in T3S R75W which is located within the Climax Molybdenum Company land detailed in Exchange Survey <br /> 377. Also included are pages from the most recent Notice of Intent to Hold Mining Claims and Payment of <br /> BLM Maintenance Fee for the Mining Claims H1-H26 (Puzzler Claims) that Henderson filed this NOI to <br /> explore. <br /> 4. In Section lll, Item 6G—New Roads, the Prospector indicates a length of 850 feet for the new <br /> road. In Section Ill, Item 5, the Prospector states the access road will be approximately 1,700 <br /> feet long. Please review the length of the new access road and revise the NOI application <br /> accordingly. <br /> After submitting the NOI, the avalanche danger in the area decreased enough to allow a site walk. Based <br /> on this new data a shorter approach has been developed. An updated map showing the new road is <br /> enclosed as Attachment B. This new approach has a road length of 688 feet and replaces any distance <br /> stated in Section III, Item 5, and Section III, Item 6G. <br /> 5. In Section lll, Item 61, the Prospector states drilling will be accomplished by using a truck mounted <br /> drilling rig. Pursuant to Rule 5.1.2(1), please provide a description of the type of drill rig to be used in <br /> the proposed drilling operation. <br /> A final drill rig has yet to be identified as they are all currently dispersed on other exploration projects <br /> elsewhere. However, the final rig is likely to be either a Christensen CS4002 or an Atlas Copco CT20. <br /> 6. Pursuant to Rule 5.3.3(1), upon filing the Notice of Intent to Conduct Exploration, the person shall <br /> provide Financial Warranty in the amount of two thousand dollars ($2,000.00)per acre of land to be <br /> disturbed, or such other amount as determined by the Office, based on the projected cost of <br /> reclamation. The Prospector provided the required financial warranty in the amount of$2,000 with the <br /> NOI form for the purpose of filing. <br /> The Division calculated the cost for an independent contractor to reclaim the prospecting disturbance <br /> based on the information provided by the Prospector in the amount of$17,000. A copy of the <br /> estimate is attached for review. <br />
