..βββ <br /> LANGSTON <br /> CONCRETE INCβ <br /> The second request stems from the recent compliance inspection with the DRMS official <br /> on Jan. 23, 2024. During the inspection we compared previous maps and notes to current site <br /> conditions and felt that we may have gone over the affected acreage limits. Recent slowdowns in <br /> the construction market and economy have allowed us more free time to focus mining efforts on <br /> progressive steps at the mine. So, we have been recently working on setting back the next set of <br /> benches to clear off overburden for future mining in the coming year. <br /> After the DRMS official returned back to the Division and did some comparative <br /> estimating, it was determined that we are in fact over our max affected acreage limit at the mine. <br /> In 2015 we submitted a technical revision to increase affected acres as we had just purchased the <br /> property and discovered through an inspection with Mr. Cazier that the pit was out of compliance <br /> when we took ownership. At the time, we asked to be increased to 50 acres to get into <br /> compliance. According to the recent inspection, we are currently sitting at 55 acres of disturbed <br /> area. <br /> Upon reviewing the TR from 2015 and all the associated documents, there was a lot of <br /> discussion with Mr. Cazier about trying to release a lot of the land the previous owner had <br /> considered "reclaimed." At the time we elected to not release anything and we are glad we did <br /> not. Over the last several years we have discovered an incredible amount of marketable material <br /> the previous owner had already processed and discarded. We have spent that majority of the last <br /> several years simply re-running material from various locations around the pit. We are not sure <br /> what the previous owners' intentions were, but it appears they were high grading for one <br /> particular material and discarding what they were not specifically after. <br /> With this, we have determined we still are not ready to release any of the disturbed area. <br /> Our North East corner is really close to being ready for release. However, through the process of <br /> coming up with the wash plant connections we are installing, we have learned the North East <br /> corner is the closest proximity to our water source. It was discussed that the activity of installing <br /> the water line will re-disturb the area; given we will be trenching an underground line in the area. <br /> Also, we are not finished cleaning up the piles left by the previous owner. There is still <br /> work to be done to get all the marketable material out of the discarded piles. Some of which are <br /> near the North East corner. The process is taking longer than we expected, given the amount of <br /> reject material in the piles. The material is extremely contaminated and has proven to be <br /> inefficient to run through the screening process. However, we do not want to waste it. We still <br /> want to get all the marketable material out of it because we feel it is the right thing to do. <br /> Furthermore, we are in need of locations to store the overburden the pit is producing. <br /> Which brings us to the next part of needing the increase of the affected area. Our gravel pit was <br /> purchased as an 89acre piece of land with 77.4acres being permitted for mining. Approximately <br /> 11.6acres are owned by our organization, but not permitted. We recently began storing <br /> overburden material on a 5acre parcel adjacent to the permitted property. The parcel is on the <br /> West side of the permitted boundary. The remaining 6.6acres are on the East side of the <br /> permitted property adjacent to Union Street and scattered around the pit in the form of"buffer <br /> 902 South Union Street P.O. Box 279 Florence, Co. 81226(719) 784-3878 Office (719) 784-1158 Fax <br />
