The security building, damaged by avalanche last winter, had been removed, only the concrete <br />pad and foundation remained. The operator indicated that all remaining buildings and structures are <br />scheduled for removal during construction season 2006. Remaining reclamation to be completed at the <br />American Tunnel area appears limited to backfilling the portal, removal of all mine related buildings and <br />structures, grading to stable slopes appropriate for the post-mining land use and establishment of an <br />appropriate vegetative cover. <br />Financial Warranty <br />Observations made during the inspection and recorded in this report indicate that the operator has <br />completed significant portions of the reclamation plan for the Lake Emma, Terry Tunnel, MayFlower Pond <br />4, TR-26 borrow area and American Tunnel areas. Pursuant to Rule 4.2.1(1 }and (4}, and in response to <br />SR-04, DMG has calculated the current cost of reclamation totaling $146,151. Enclosed with this report <br />are 26 pages of summary, worksheets and data sheets utilized by DMG to estimate the current cost of <br />reclamation. <br />Therefore, on October 6, 2005, DMG approved SR-04. Under SR-04, DMG approved a $353,849 <br />reduction in the amount of financial warranty required for the operation, from the existing $500,000 to an <br />amount of warranty not less than $146,151. At this time, DMG recommends that financial warranty be no <br />less than $146,151 to ensure the successful completion of reclamation as required under the approved <br />reclamation plan and Act and Rules. <br />No problems or possible violations were observed. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to the Division of Minerals and Geology, 701 <br />Camino del Rio, Room 125, Durango, Colorado 81301, Attn: Wally Erickson, phone no. 970-247-5469. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME Larry Perino <br />OPERATOR Sunnyside Gold Corporation <br />STREET P.O.
