OR[CIM1AL -PUBLIC FILE <br />(Poge 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: ti+-lean-gee <br />INSPECTION DATE: Il~Z/ns INSPECTOROS INITIALS: ~_ <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />The Division conducted a bi-monthly monitoring inspection of the site on 1- <br />27-05.Prior to the physical inspection of the site I met with Ron Largent <br />General Manger/ Vice President and Peter O'Conner, General Council, for <br />Anglo Gold Ashanti regarding the abrupt departure of Phil Harnes the <br />Environmental manager for the site. They both explained that his departure <br />would in no way change how CC&V has been conducting their environmental <br />control polices already insplace. <br />Inspected the Phase IV leach pad-area. More ore has been deployed in the <br />Phase IVB and C areas since the last inspection. Ore has also been loaded <br />in the pregnant solution collection area as reported in the last inspection <br />report. First lift is almost complete along the South side. Pad was being <br />leached at the time of the inspection. While in the area, collected the <br />following readings from the Phase IV high and low volume pregnant solution <br />collection system transducers. <br />High volume solution collection transducer # 7 was recorded at 32.7 #8 was <br />at 31.8 #9 was at 32.8 and # 10 was at 33.1. Low volume solution collection <br />transducer # 1 was at 15.8 and #2 was at 7.1 inches of hydrostatic head. <br />(All other readings are in feet of hydrostatic head) <br />Inspected the main and Cresson mines. Main Cresson was not active, but East <br />Cresson was active. Pit high walls were stable. The East Cresson as <br />approved in Amendment # 8 was being backfilled as mining progresses to the <br />south. All the storm water management structures for the area appeared to <br />be in good repair. Inspected the Arequa Gulch, Iron Clad and Globe Hill <br />overburden storage areas, all storm water management structures for the <br />area were in good repair. <br />Inspected the Phase I, II AND III leach pad areas. While in the area, <br />collected the following readings from the High and Low volume pregnant <br />solution collection transducers. <br />Phase I High Volume solution collection transducer read out for # I was <br />still not functioning. Operator plans to change the read out meter once <br />they pull and replace the pumps. Because we have two other readings in <br />addition to the Piezometr for the pond, it will be fine to wait until the <br />pumps are pulled out to replace the read out meters. # 2 was at 51.5 and # <br />3 was at 49.7.Low volume solution collection transducer # 1 was recorded <br />at.24 and # 2 was at .48.Piezometer for the pond was at 49.4 feet. Phase II <br />High Volume solution collection transducer # 4 was recorded at 36.2 # 5 was <br />at 33.5 and # 6 was at 38.l.Low volume solution collection transducer # 1 <br />was at .15 and # 2 was at .27. Piezometer for the pond was at 38.2 feet <br />(all other readings are in feet of hydrostatic head) <br />Inspected the external pond, it was holding some water which appeared to be <br />partially frozen. While in the area collected the following readings from <br />the low volume solution collection transducers. # 1 was at 12.7 and # 2 was <br />at 11.7 inches of hydrostatic head. <br />Inspected the under drain area, the two lowest ponds were still holding a <br />very small amount of partially frozen water. Both the south under drain and <br />4 inches pipes were discharging. First quarter sample from the under drain <br />
