We were concerned as that news release had identified our TONKO#1 <br /> mining claim stockpile as a target for their processing plan. Attached is an overlay image I <br /> created by projecting our claim boundaries onto the ASX project map. <br /> We traveled to our TONKO#1 mining claim on August 18,2023, and observed a new road has <br /> been constructed upon our stockpile. It was created by tracked heavy equipment that operated <br /> from the London Mine. We photographed the road and stockpile disturbances, and 3 photos are <br /> attached. <br /> I reviewed the London Mine File No.M-2023-015 on the DRMS document website. The <br /> application process has no mention of the processing of our stockpile. We are owners of record <br /> for the TONKO#1 Placer Mining Claim serial number CMC-252344 in Township 9 South, <br /> Range 78 West of the 6`h Principal Meridian in sections 7 & 8. Our claim boundaries are within <br /> 200 feet of the affected land and well known to the applicant. No notice was given to us as <br /> required for the 1 I0d Hard Rock Reclamation application submitted by MineWater LLC and/or <br /> MW Sorter LLC. <br /> We have been in contact with the District Ranger Joshua Voorhis and Geologist Amy <br /> Titterington of the United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, South Park Ranger <br /> District located at 320 Highway 285, P.O. Box 219 in Fairplay, Colorado 80440.
