The aerial photographs were reviewed by Mike <br />Boulay of the DMG. Weather conditions were clear and sunny at the time of the flight. Ground <br />conditions at the site appeared to be dry. <br />There was no activity at the site at the time of the flight. The permanent access road into the <br />mine site appeared to be stable and in good condition. The surface facilities azea and perimeter <br />azeas appeaz to be well maintained and no problems were noted with this aerial inspection. <br />Sedimentation Ponds D, B, and A aze visible in the photos. All of the ponds were retaining water <br />but did not appeaz to be discharging. The water level in Pond D appeazs to be low. Pond <br />embankments appeaz to be stable and well vegetated and no problems were noted at any of the <br />pond locations. <br />The majority of the mine site appeazed to be well vegetated and the site is beginning to green up. <br />Photos are enclosed of the Pit 1 area, the Marr Pit, and 720 Pit and Overburden Area. Of these <br />locations the Pit 1 Area appears to be browner in the photos and possibly less well vegetated than <br />the other pit locations. Overall the site is in good condition and no major erosion problems were <br />identified from the aerial photographs. <br />
