EXHIBIT H <br /> (E) Sage-grouse <br /> The West Side Placer lies within a designated Greater Sage-Grouse Habitat Management Area(HMA) under <br /> the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) conservation framework. Specifically, it falls within areas classified <br /> as Priority Habitat Management Areas (PHMA) and General Habitat Management Areas (GHMA). PHMAs <br /> are high-value habitats essential for the survival and breeding of sage-grouse,while GHMAs support these <br /> populations with more flexible management. <br /> To proactively address potential impacts on sage-grouse habitats, AuPt Industries has developed a Sage- <br /> Grouse Management Plan Supplement for the West Side Placer. This plan includes measures to avoid <br /> high-value habitats, such as seasonal restrictions on operations near breeding sites and post-mining habitat <br /> restoration efforts. By following the BLM's Greater Sage-Grouse Conservation Strategy,this approach aligns <br /> our reclamation and management efforts with federal conservation objectives. <br /> This commitment supports long-term habitat preservation, contributing to the resilience of sage-grouse pop- <br /> ulations across the Greater Sage-Grouse Management Area. <br /> See Sage-Grouse Supplemental Exhibit for the West Side Placer Project. <br /> Sege-Grouse Management <br /> Supplemental Exhibit for the West Side Placer Project <br /> Prgmrod for..Calcmdo Ovldon of RoaWndlon,Mining ud Sdoft <br /> - ' L <br /> ArF!Indnnhlm LLC <br /> PU WK 1424 <br /> Edtwrda,C I 1 01632 <br /> pffb~4 kwIA mm <br /> Wa90&1Tl4 <br /> t <br /> 57 <br /> HARDROCK/METAL MINING REGULAR(112)APPLICATION Au Pt Industries LLC I PO Box 1424-Edwards,Colorado 81632 1970 306 1 784 <br />
