Colorado Inactive Mine Reclamation Program CLOSEOUT REPORT ACTIVE MINE BOND FORFEITURE PROJECTS Permit Information Permit Number Operator Name Mine Name P-1983-168 Fatima Minerals, Inc. John Jay Mine Type of Mine— Underground Commodity Mined- Gold PRE-RECLAMATION SITE CONDITIONS The John Jay Mine is located on private property and USFS managed land 2.5 miles west of the town of Jamestown in Boulder County, Colorado. The site is adjacent to James Creek and access is from Gold Lake on County Road 102J. A prospecting Notice of Intent (NOI) was issued to Fatima Minerals in 1983. The prospecting NOI was revoked and the bond money forfeited in 2000. The initial bond of$2,000.00 was used to safeguard the shaft and no funding was available to reclaim the remainder of the site. The remaining disturbance at the John Jay Mine includes the 2000 reclaimed shaft, mine buildings, storage trailers, numerous demolished trailers, wood piles, old mining equipment, vehicles and mining related debris and trash. The landowner has requested the shaft head frame to remain on site for historical purposes. The landowner was notified to remove anything of value so the area could be reclaimed and various pieces of old mining equipment were removed. Prior to contracting the demolition, structures were tested for asbestos related material to determine how the material should be handled and disposed. Asbestos abatement was a component of the demolition project.

The asbestos survey was performed at the John Jay Mine on June 22, 2010 by ATC Associates Inc. Eighty-two (82) bulk samples were collected from various structures, trailers and debris piles at the John Jay Mine. The results from the survey indicate that eighteen (18) materials were identified as asbestos containing materials (ACM) at the Lower, Middle and Upper John Jay sites. Major Asbestos Control, Inc. was the subcontractor used to remove all asbestos material prior to demolition of the given structures. The asbestos containing materials were removed, stored in clean double bagged goose neck bags, transported and disposed of in accordance with all Federal, State and County rules and regulations. Once the asbestos containing materials were removed, structures and trailers were demolished and sorted into various piles for recycling, scrap metal and trash. The Contractor obtained a building demolition permit (also referred to as a Deconstruction Permit) from Boulder County. Construction material was sorted into the various piles at the mine site and hauled to the upper landing area for transport. Scrap material ultimately ended up at Rocky Mountain Recycling in Commerce City, the tires to Snowy River Enterprises in Longmont and the debris to Republic Services and the BFI Landfill off of Highway 93. A small subsidence feature was developing near the John Jay Shaft that was reclaimed in 2000. The Division instructed the contractor to excavate the area to determine the extent of the subsidence. The material was loose and wet. At a depth of eight feet (8') a small drift was observed. At a depth of 15 feet the hole was no longer apparent and seemed to be filled in. The subsidence was filled with adjacent large rocks and material excavated from the area. The trench was backfilled, compacted and revegetated.
