MINING PLAN EXHIBIT D (coNT) <br /> progress to the west south of the power lines . Once this area <br /> is mined out, mining will resume on the slope north of the 110 <br /> permit area moving under the powerlines into the north area. As <br /> mining progresses thru the site the processing plant will be <br /> set near the open face to reduce the raw material haul distance <br /> from the mine face. <br /> The mine operates intermittently from May thru October <br /> each year, weather permitting and may set dormant for 6 months <br /> or more. There may be periods when the demands for material <br /> are slow and no operations will take place at which time the <br /> mine will become an Intermediate Operation. Stockpiles of <br /> material will be maintained on the site and as the need arises, <br /> it will be hauled to our project sites or sold to the public. <br /> This will be a single stage operation, but the amount of <br /> disturbance will be limited to 20 . 0 acres or less at any-one- <br /> time. This will allow us to use approximately 10 . 0 acres as a <br /> processing plant/stockpile area, approximately 3 acres for the <br /> active mining area and 7 acres being reclaimed. As mining <br /> progresses around the property the bank slopes will be mined or <br /> shaped to the required grades, along the exterior mining limits <br /> and reclaimed. This will reduce the amount of work that has to <br /> be done to reclaim the site if mining ended prematurely. <br /> Reclamation will begin once we have enough room for the <br /> stockpiled material and the newly mined section, to be <br /> reclaimed so it will not have to be disturbed again. <br /> Review of M/PEXHIBiTC-1 shows how we expect the site to look <br /> when mining is approximately 63% done. Note, the floor of the <br /> excavation is flat and the exterior slopes into the mined area <br /> are graded 3 : 1 where partly reclaimed, the working face 2 : 1 <br /> temporary grading is done and near vertical where mining is <br /> taking place. <br /> Mining equipment may include but is not limited to, front- <br /> end loaders, scrapers, bulldozers, dump trucks and a water <br /> truck. Processing equipment may include but is not limited to <br /> conveyors, crushers and screen plants . A scale and scale house <br /> as well as a shop and maintenance building may also be built at <br /> the mine during its life. No blasting will take place at this <br /> mine. <br /> As much as possible, the surface drainage will be <br /> maintained in the same direction as it now exists .
