(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: ~ lena_t 1~ <br />INSPECTION DATE: 1-v_nd INSPECTOR=S fNtTIALS: -JD__ <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />Completed a partial inspection of this operation as part of the normal inspection program. <br />Reviewed the mill area and the R/O unit since the rest of the mine site is covered with several inches of snow <br />from recent snowstorms, <br />The R/O unit continues to perform very efficiently. The facility only operates a few days a week. In order to <br />maintain the required groundwater elevation in the backflll material, the operator continuously pumps two of <br />the monitoring wells in the west pit. When the R/O unit is not running the water is pumped to the lined pond north <br />of the facility (pond #1). When the unit is operating, water is pumped from pond number 1 and the capture <br />wells. Currently, about 190 GPM needs to be extracted from the West pit aquifer to maintain the required water <br />elevation. <br />The mill building is being demolished. Currently, the sag mill is being disassembled and will be removed in the <br />next couple of months. the operator plans to remove all the shuctures within the mill facility footprint over the <br />next few months. Affer removing the structures, the area will be regarded, topsolled and seeded, thereby <br />completing reclamation requirements in the mill area. <br />Did not observe any obvious problems at this site. Was unable to review the seep area. <br />Will monitor the site more offen now that there is more activity (especially reclamation activity). <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Bill Lvle <br />OPERATOR: Battle Mountain Resources.
