(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-1990-057 <br />INSPECTION DATE 08/06/07 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS ESC <br />OBSHRVATIONS <br />This was an inspection of the Hopemore and Leadville Mine conducted by Erica Crosby of the <br />Division of Minerals and Geology. Bert Tanin of Capital Gold Corp, was present during the <br />inspection. <br />No mining or milling was taking place during the inspection. The mine and mill have not <br />been in use for several years. Mr. Tanin stated that several loads of old mining <br />equipment and trash have been removed from the site. The shafts were locked to prevent <br />access to the mine. <br />The current operator is listed as Leadville Mining and Milling Corp. However, it appears <br />that Capital Gold Corporation has in interest in the site. If Leadville Mining and <br />Milling Corp. no longer has an interest in the mine and mill, then the permit will need to <br />be transferred. Successor of Operators and Transfer of Permit application forms can be <br />obtained from the Division's web page located at www.mining.state.co.us. <br />The site has not been active for quite some time, and appears to meet the definition of a <br />site that needs to be placed in temporary cessation (as required by Rule 1.13). The operator <br />stated that they are interested in possibly selling the property and transferring the permit. <br />Because the site has been inactive so many years, the operator will need to either initiate <br />reclamation or put the site in temporary cessation (unless the permit is transferred and <br />mining is initiated). Because the site has been inactive for so many years, the Division <br />will note this as a problem that requires abatement. See page 3 for further detail. <br />The Division currently holds a reclamation bond in the amount of $35,550.00. The Division <br />will recalculate the bond to determine if this amount is adequate to reclaim the site. <br />Notice of any increase to the bond will be submitted under separate cover. <br />I & R Contact Address <br />NAME Mr. Scott Hazlitt <br />OPERATOR Leadville Mining & Milling Corp. <br />STREET P.O.
