• ~ (Page 2) M <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-77-301 <br />INSPECTION DATE 2 3 97 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS AJW <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a pre-operational inspection conducted by Tony Waldron of DMG along with Robert <br />Kisner of Colorado Lien. The inspection was required to complete the review for Amendment - <br />002. This amendment was submitted for construction of a haul road between the Rex and <br />Roberts quarries. The road is to be constructed in an area that was previously not included <br />on either the Rex or Roberts permit areas. Therefore, an amendment was necessary to add <br />additional permitted and affected area to the Rex Quarry. <br />The inspection consisted of traversing the area where the new haul road will be constructed. <br />The area is fairly flat until just before reaching the Roberts Quarry where it ties into the <br />existing Roberts Quarry road. The vegetation consists of mostly short-grass prairie <br />dominated by blue grama with an occasional ponderosa or pinon pine scattered throughout. The <br />soils should be fairly abundant in this area, especially when compared with the rest of the <br />mine site, and every precaution should be taken to salvage all available soil for use later <br />in reclamation. This probably includes portions of the upper B horizons which should be <br />suitable as a growth medium. <br />No problems were observed with the proposed location of the haul road and in fact, <br />construction of this road will clearly provide a safer route to transport limestone ore from <br />the Roberts Quarry to the Rex Quarry where the processing plant is located. This is because <br />haul trucks will no longer have to enter onto a high speed, low visibility section of U.S. <br />Highway 287 fora short tram south to the main entrance into the Rex Quarry, but will instead <br />transport the raw material away from U.S 287 and more directly to the processing plant. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME Robert Kisner <br />OPERATOR Colorado Lien Comoanv <br />STREET P.O.
