However, dependent upon market <br /> needs,the operation may, on occasion, operate for more than 180 days in any given year. <br /> Also, since this is to be an intermittent mining operation, in some years more than one <br /> Phase may be opened, in other years no new Phase will be opened. <br /> Mining methods will be consistent throughout the life of this mining operation. This will <br /> be an open pit mining operation. Typical mining equipment will be used, such as: <br /> • Scrapers <br /> • Frontend loaders <br /> • Dozers <br /> • Backhoes <br /> • Typical highway hall trucks <br /> The post mining land use is rangeland. <br /> The existing soil is thin. However,where topsoil exists,will be stripped, and stockpiled <br /> for use during reclamation. If there is any excess overburden, it may be sold or given <br /> away. <br /> This will be a dry mining operation since excavation operations will occur above the <br /> regional ground water table. Primarily, scraper(s), front-end loader(s), excavator(s) and <br /> haul trucks or other similar equipment will remove the topsoil and the thin overburden. <br /> The next step will be to remove aggregate for processing, loadout or placed into <br /> stockpiles for sale. Our product stockpiles will be of various sizes and should not <br /> exceed 3,000 tons in any single year. <br /> 11 <br />
