(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: ti+-19Sn-24d <br />INSPECTION DATE:Z n~<a~ INSPECTOROS INITIALS: ~_ <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />The Division conducted a monitoring and construction progress inspection of the site on 7.03-03. Present during <br />the inspection were, Messer Tim comer, Mark Tidquits and Terry Mnadziac of CCBV. Prior to the site inspection <br />an informal discussions were held with Mike Irish of CCBV, about CCBV 'S PLAN TO APPLY AMMONIA DIRECTLY <br />TO THE ORE BODY TO RAISE THE PH TO BETWEEN 10.5 TO 11.0. He explained why CCBV chose the Ammonia in <br />addition to the CAO that is still being utilized during the Gold recovery process. The Division listed the possible <br />concerns. Since it was not a formal meeting, the Division agreed to discuss the matter with Mr. Phil Barnes, <br />Manager Environmental Affairs, on how to best address the Division's possible concerns. <br />The Physical inspection began at the Phase IV leach pad PSSA area. Temporary power to pump the solution <br />back and forth the ARD building was in place. Transducers to measure both the upper and lower pond <br />hydrostatic head were in place. According to Mark, the transducers were properly calibrated and appeared to <br />be functioning as designed. Only drain cover deployment was taking place at the time of the inspection. The <br />first lift ore has been deployed for the most part in the PSSA AREA. CCBV plans to apply solution as soon as <br />possible. <br />Inspected the Phase I AND II pregnant solution collection areas and recorded the following readings from the <br />Phase I AND II HIGH AND LOW VOLUME SOLUTION COLLECTION TRANSDUCERS. <br />Phase I High Volume solution collection transducer # I was recorded at 35.5 #2 was at 38.1 and # 3 was at 38.6 <br />Low volume solution collection fransducer # 1 was at .21 and # 2 was aF .53. Piezometer for the area was <br />recorded at 41.3 feet. <br />Phase II High volume solution collection transducer #4 was at 26.0 #5 was at 20.8 and # 6 was at 26.1 <br />Low volume solution collection fransducer #1 was at .13 and # 2 was at .54. Piezometer for the area <br />was recorded at 28.7 feet. (ALL TRANSDUCER READINGS ARE IN PEST OF HYDROSTATIC HEAD) <br />Inspected the external pond and collected the following readings from the low volume solution collection <br />transducers. # 1 was recorded at 12.8 and # 2 was at 9.6 (all readings are in inches of hydrostatic head) <br />Inspected the under drain area both the South under drain and the 41nch pipes were discharging, the <br />discharge was being pumped back onto the leach pad. No major problem noted. Both lower ponds were <br />holding some water from the recent rainfall, but were not discharging. <br />f R E Contact Address <br />NAME: MR.
