They aze at a <br />three to one or less. <br />Mining in the west pit has ceased. Reclamation was initiated and completed in 2001. <br />The operation is approved to excavate 10 acres at a time in a 90 acre permit azea. <br />Reclamation ofthe first 10 acres must take place before mining ofthe second 10 acres <br />begins. <br />The east pit is being mined towazd the west pit. When we reach the west pit, it will be <br />be 10 acres. At that time we will do our reclamation of the east pit. <br />At the present time, no mining is being done. <br />I hope this answers your questions. <br />Since ly, <br />Ron Barrier <br />
