,NUVEMC4, LLC. Please see the attached claim information included in Appendix 1. 3. Location of Proposed Activities:The project is located approximately 14.5 air miles northwest from Naturita Colorado.From Naturita,travel northwest on Highway 141 for approximately 2.4 miles to the intersection of Highway 90.Then travel west on Highway 90 for approximately 6.3 miles to the intersection of Montrose County EE 21 road.Then travel southwest on Montrose County EE 21 road for approximately 6.1 miles to the intersection of Montrose County DD 19 road.Then travel northeast on Montrose County DD 19 road for approximately 2.8 miles to the intersection of Montrose County FF 16 road.Then travel west on Montrose County FF 16 road for approximately 8.8 miles to the intersection of the mine road.Turn east and continue for approximately 0.7 miles until reaching the area of proposed activities in the Project Area. 4.Existing Disturbance:Existing surface disturbance in the project area includes numerous roads,tracks,and other disturbance associated with existing prospecting and mining activities as shown on figures included in Appendix 1. 5.Project Description:This Project is an exploration project.Nuvemco plans to access the drill holes from existing surface disturbance,sample and remove ore from underground workings areas.The current Plan of Operation is also approved by Colorado Division of Reclamation,Mining and Safety and has an established reclamation bond,for this project. Surface disturbance of drill sites,sumps,sampling and removal of approximately 999 tons of ore in the project area will not involve constructing any new disturbance. Drilling Activity:The drill sites have been calculated to each have an approximate surface disturbance of 70 feet long by 30 feet wide.Sumps have been calculated to each have a surface disturbance of approximately 20 feet long by 10 feet wide and 3.75 feet deep,and will be located adjacent to the drill sites in order to collect drill cuttings and manage fluids.Nontoxic fluids will be used in the drilling process. Nuvemco will utilize a truck mounted Davey MBARHP drill rig along with a truck mounted air compressor,to drill holes to an average depth of approximately 300 feet.The approximate depth to the water table in the areas of proposed drilling is unknown, however,Nuvemco is not anticipating to encounter water during the drilling program.Water for drilling will be purchased from the municipal water system in Naturita,Colorado.The drill crew will use 4-wheel drive vehicles to access the sites.Nuvemco will maintain the existing access road for safety purposes which will consist of smoothing of ruts and filling holes where appropriate within the existing road disturbance area. Hazardous substances utilized for the drilling activities will include diesel fuel,gasoline,and lubricating grease.Approximately 100 gallons of diesel fuel and gasoline will be stored in fuel delivery systems on the drill rig and support vehicles.Approximately 50 pounds of lubricating grease will be stored on the drill rig or transported by drill trucks.In the event that hazardous or regulated materials were spilled,measures will be taken to control the spill and the BLM will be notified as required.Any hazardous substance spills will be cleaned immediately and any resulting waste will be transferred off site in accordance with all applicable local,state,and federal regulations.Drillers will maintain spill kits on site for use in case of a spill. The locations of Nuvemco's proposed exploration activities are shown on the attached figures. Proposed Disturbance:The following specifics apply to the Project: Drilling Surface Disturbance: •Five constructed drill sites with dimensions of approximately 30 feet wide by 70 feet long=0.25 acre; •Five sumps constructed with the approximate dimensions of 20 feet long by 10 feet wide and 3.75 feet deep=0.03 acre. Total Proposed Surface Disturbance=0.28 acre. Drill cuttings will be collected and deposited at existing waste dump. 2
