EXHIBIT D <br /> minus sand product ready for off-site shipment.This screening plant will optionally operate within an industrial tent, <br /> designed for sound buffering,weather protection,and consistent operational performance.The screen plant tent will <br /> not be a permanent structure and will not require a concrete foundation. <br /> Collection,Drying,and Stockpiling of 4 mesh Minus Sand Product <br /> Once the screening plant processes the material,the resulting 4 mesh minus sand product undergoes collection and <br /> drying.This refined product is then stockpiled on-site in preparation for transport and off-site shipment.A radial <br /> stacker will be used for this.A concrete pad 5'x5'for stacker center pin and 5x100'concrete runway for the stacker <br /> wheels will employed. <br /> 3. Return of Screened Ore to Active Mining Block <br /> Following the processing at the screening plant,the treated ore will be stacked in preparation for transportation.The <br /> stacked ore will then be reloaded onto haul trucks or scrapers and returned back to the active mining block.The return <br /> and deposition of the ore will progress methodically towards the direction of the active excavation wall within the pit. <br /> This directional approach ensures that the pit is refilled in a manner that is both orderly and efficient,aligning with the <br /> overall mining strategy and aiding in land rehabilitation efforts. <br /> (3) Grading and Contouring of Mined Block <br /> After mining activities are completed,a dozer is used to grade the returned screened ore to match the original topographic <br /> contour of the site as closely as possible.This step is essential for restoring the physical appearance and functionality of the <br /> landscape.Lidar technology will be utilized to create detailed maps of the original topographic profile of the mining site. <br /> These maps serve as a reference to ensure accurate grading and restoration of the land to its pre-mining state. <br /> (4) Return of Topsoil Over Mined Block i <br /> ( <br /> Once the grading is complete,the next step involves covering the graded area with topsoil that was stockpiled before or <br /> during the mining process.This topsoil is spread evenly over the area to create a suitable medium for vegetation growth.It's <br /> a critical step in the reclamation process,as it restores the soil layer,which is necessary for plant life and helps to prevent a <br /> erosion. <br /> (5) Seeding and Imprinting of Mining Block <br /> The seeding of the reclaimed mining block is scheduled for specific times of the year either in October or April.These <br /> periods are chosen based on the climatic conditions that are most favorable for seed germination and growth.The seeds <br /> used for this process are part of an approved seed mix.Areas that are compacted,are ripped before seeding.A seeder is <br /> used to evenly distribute the seeds across the mining block.Following this,an imprinter is used to texture the block.An <br /> imprinter creates patterns or indentations in the soil surface. The texturing acts as a windbreak,reducing the likelihood <br /> of seeds being blown away and improved moisture retention These features improve the chances of seed establishment by <br /> providing a micro-environment that is conducive to seed germination and growth. <br /> 14 <br /> HARDROCK/METAL MINING REGULAR(112)APPLICATION AuPt Industries LLC I PO Box 1424-Edwards,Colorado 81632 1970 306 1784 <br />
