(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-1977-310 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 3124/05 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS GRM <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This inspection was conducted as part of the normal monitoring program established by the Colorado Division of <br />Minerals and Geology. The JD-6 and associated Mineral Joe Claims, JD-8, JD-9 and the Wright Group / SM-18 <br />Mines have begun mining operations after a lengthy period of minimal activity. The Division of Minerals and <br />Geology is inspecting the referenced sites in conjunction with permit reviews to ensure that permits meet current <br />standards for metal mining activities. No problems or issues will be noted within this report specifically as any <br />concerns will be addressed through the permit review process for each site individually. <br />The JD-6 Mine is part of the overall complex that makes up the JD-6 Mining Area which includes the Mineral Joe <br />Claims under a sepazate permit. The JD-6 uses the existing Mineral Joe, Duggan Adit for access to the mine and an <br />additional adit for an emergency exit. All surface observations and photos are noted in the Mineral Joe Claims <br />Inspection Report from 3/24/05. <br />Currently no waste rock is being brought to the surface. The primary practice is that waste generated within the <br />mine is being placed in mined out azeas as part of a back fill /gob operation. This effort keeps the operation within <br />the current footprint of existing disturbances and reduces haulage costs for the operator. <br />Some low-grade ores are being brought to the surface load-out azea. The inspector noted aloader /truck loading ore <br />for shipment off site. Approximately 30 tons ofmaterial was observed stockpiled for loading. No water dischazge <br />or drainage is associated with the current mine conditions at either of the noted adits. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Russ Means at the Division of Minerals and Geology, Grand Junction <br />Field Office, 101 South 3rtl Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, phone no. 970-241-1117. <br />I & E Contact Address cc: <br />^ CE <br />NAME: Glen Williams ^ BL <br />OPERATOR: Cotter Corporation ^ FS <br />STREET: P.O.
