(Page 2) MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-1977-378 INSPECTION DATE 10/2/06 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS WHE OBSERVATIONS This inspection occurred to verify completion of final reclamation for the Power Plant Tailings Project area and to verify reclamation progress at the American Tunnel area. The Sunnyside Mine permit includes lands at the American Tunnel facility, Mayflower Tailings Pond 4 area, Power Plant area, Terry Tunnel area, and Lake Emma area, totaling 159.49 acres. The Operator pursues final reclamation at all permit areas. DMG holds $146,151 financial warranty. Affected lands will be reclaimed to support a combination of wildlife habitat and rangeland post- mining land use. This inspection was limited to the American Tunnel facility and lands at the Power Plant area. Eleven photos and a reclamation cost estimation totaling $60,534 accompany this inspection report. On November 7, 2006, the Operator submitted a release request (AR-04) for the 10.56 acres area known as the Power Plant Tailings Project area. As noted in the release request, the Operator had previously completed reclamation atthe Power PlantTailings area but had not requested release forthe completed reclamation. During 2003, the site was re-disturbed as part of a Consent Decree project. Under the Consent Decree project, the Operator relocated pre-law tailings from near bank regions of the Animas River to Mayflower Tailings Pond 4. DRMS reviewed and approved the work plans through TR-26. As shown in the enclosed photos, pre-law tailings had been relocated and affected lands reclaimed in accordance with the plans approved through TR-26. Backfilled and graded areas appeared stable, no evidence of settling, slumping or excessive erosion were observed. Transplanted willow clumps appeared to be thriving and are expected to continue to spread across the flat, low- lyingareas.

However, the Operator succeeded in establishing vegetative cover for the embankment at least equal in extent of cover to surrounding similar areas. Observations made during the inspection and recorded in this report indicate that the Operator has completed reclamation in accordance with permit conditions and the Act and Rules forthe 10.56 acres area addressed underAR-04. DRMS recommends approval of AR-04. With the approval of AR-04, the permit area will reduce from 159.49 acres to 148.93 acres. Reclamation activities at the American Tunnel facility were active during the inspection. All mine related buildings and structures had been removed with the exception of the Quonset Hut, Reagent Addition WaterTreatmentPlant building and the Change/Dry Room building. The three remaining buildings will remain as permanentstructures as requested by the landowner and approved through previous revisions. The portal for the American Tunnel had been backflled. Portal drainage is conveyed through the backfill material in a 24 inch diameterABS culvert. After the culvert, portal drainage is conveyed to Cement Creek by an open channel ditch. Slopes had been reduced by a combination of balanced cut and fill and/or backfill to stable configurations which blended with the surrounding native topography. No Backfilled slopes appeared steeper than 2H:1V. Reclamation seed mix and mulch were being applied as soon as final grading was completed. Pursuant to Rule 4.2.1(4), DRMS has reviewed the current cost of reclamation totaling $60,534. Copy of the current calculation dated December 5, 2006 is enclosed. No problems or possible violations were observed. I & E Contact Address NAME Larry Perino OPERATOR Sunnvside Gold Corporation STREET P.O.
