Activities <br /> will begin immediately after MSHA approval and DRMS approval are granted. <br /> All storm water structures are still in place. <br /> Equipment to be set on surface will include air compressors, ventilation fans, and <br /> generators. A small portable building for securing communications equipment will be set. <br /> Underground equipment will run on surface also and consist of a skid-steer loader and <br /> small haulage units of ten ton capacity or smaller. <br /> All fuel tanks will be day use only with secondary containment. Fuel will be hauled in a <br /> pickup truck with a capacity of 100 gallons and delivered each day. Oil containers will be 5 <br /> gallons or less and stored within secondary containment. <br /> Water will also be hauled in for drilling operations and a truck or trailer may be left on <br /> site between loads. <br /> Activities will commence with the rehabilitation of the drift. This will be followed by an <br /> underground exploratory drilling program. Then drifts will be developed to the ore bodies after <br /> the completion of the underground drilling program. Production will begin when a purchase <br /> schedule is established by a mill. <br /> Please contact me at 970-417-1239 if you have questions or concerns. <br /> Thank You, <br /> Alan Chiles/President <br />
