One of the attributes of our Established Extraction Methodology is the use of flexibility to aid a rapid access to the deposit and completion of the basin. If needed, four separate extraction teams could be set up in each Section or Field to speed or adjust the extraction timeline. This has been a feature accepted by the Office over many submittals and many years. Your own Specialist, Peter Hays, can attest to this. The timely application and use of Annual Reports, or Technical Revisions, to anticipate and adjust attending Financial Warranty to allow the operations to pulse over time is a humble approach that respects the requirements and objectives of the Rules and Regulations. The idea is designed to reduce the need for untimely delays and expensive permit revisions, as well as needless field operation conflicts that can also jeopardize Compliance with otherwise rigid self-imposed constraints. The greater beneficial effect is to flexibly match extraction and subsequent reclamation as operations adjust more naturally to shifts in market demand that determine the functional life of the mine. This is a projected 35-year life of mine operation that could be shortened or lengthened by economic influences and other factors for which we and your Office cannot reliably or genuinely foresee. This answer will play out for Exhibit L as well, as the entire described Onset Area is not essentially planned for disturbance, simply the area where initial disturbance may onset, however, given possible directions NE and SE along an idealized core, could affect 8-16 acres over the course of the initial 2 years, unless we hit a depression and it takes 10 years instead. Unlikely as either are, they are projections in time. The actual areas will be monitored using aerial imagery and handheld survey instruments to monitor and report the acreages and make revisions to the Plan and estimated Warranty in response to the current market drivers of the business. We will then reflect this on related maps and as content through the annual report process as determined at the time. Active Resource Recovery: Folloning soil salvage, the balance of the extractable deposit Kill be removed to the depth of the unconsolidated or weathered bedrock, transported by conveyor to the plant site pit run, and subsequently-manipulated as desired by screening, crushing.washing, and other methods to size and properly dimension the earth product into diverse merchantable materials for sale.
