ORIGINAL -PUBLIC FILE <br />(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: ~-Iean_~ee <br />INSPECTION DATE: 5/I/n7 INSPECTOROS INITIALS: ~_ <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />The Division conducted a monthly inspection of the site on 5/1/06. Present during the <br />inspection were Tim Comer and Gary Goodrich The area had received a considerable amount <br />of snow the past two weeks. <br />Inspected the Cresson pit Ares. The west and East Cresson's were active, storm water <br />diversion structures in the area were found to be in good repair. Backfilling of the East <br />Cresson pit is continuing. No problem noted. <br />Inspected the old Pad #3 & 4 areas. Spent ore removal in anticipation of the mine <br />extension is continuing. Looked at the stockpiled material where the Abandoned Mine <br />program is going to utilize some of the material for their Millsap project. As requested <br />by DBMS, according to Gray, they have collected composite samples to test for metals and <br />WAD CYANIDE. <br />Inspected the Phase I, II, II&IV Leach pad areas and collected the following readings from <br />the High and Low Volume Solution Collection Transducers. <br />Phase I High Volume Solution Collection Transducer #1 was recorded at 7.0 (read out meter <br />still not functioning) #2 was at 31.9 and # 3 was at 31.7 piezometer for the pond was at <br />41.3 feet. Low Volume solution collection transducer #1 was recorded at .24 and # 2 was at <br />.36. Phase II &III High Volume solution Collection transducer # 4 was recorded at 18.7 # <br />5 was at 16.0 and # 6 was at 19.0. Piezometer for the pond was at 27.3 feet. Low volume <br />transducer # 1 was at..41 and #2 was at.68 <br />Phase IV High Volume Solution Collection Transducer # 7 was recorded at 31.8, #8 was at <br />29,9, #9 was at 29.6 and # 10 was at 30.4. Low Volume transducer # 1 was at 5.0 and # 2 <br />was at 6.2 inches of hydrostatic head. <br />Inspected the External pond, it was holding a small amount of water. Less than what was <br />noted during last months inspection. Low volume Solution Collection transducer # 1 for the <br />pond was recorded at 10.7 and # 2 was at 11.3 inches of hydro static head. <br />Inspected the under drain area, both the south and 4 inch pipes were discharging. The <br />north under drain and solid 24 inch pipes were dry. Only the upper pond was holding water <br />all the rest were just wet. <br />After the physical inspection, sat down with Gary Goodrich and Tim Comer to discuss the <br />content of the Technical Revision that will be submitted on 5/7/07. CC&V wants to start <br />loading ore in the Phase 4c area. Because there is approximately 2 plus acres of lined <br />area, where the load out bin is located, that is not certified, CC&V wanted to construct a <br />barrier leaving a large area of buffer lined certified area between the certified and <br />uncertified area of the liner and start loading ore once the TR is approved. Golder and <br />associated ho were the design engineers will supply the engineering design and <br />construction of the buffer structure to make sure no solution seeps to the uncertified <br />area. The previous plan was to move the load out bin and certifying the small lined area <br />and start the loading of ore. However, since Amendment # 8 was approved, the cost <br />associated with moving the load out bin increased more than anticipated and now CC&V wants <br />to move the load out bin, once Amendment # 9 is approved. The TR will also include the <br />decommissioning of the Victory Leach pad, which had been in detox mode for the past few <br />years. <br />The Division added some additional comments to be included in the TR, which CC&V AGREED to <br />implement. <br />
