In addition to the monthly inspection, the purpose of the site visit was to <br />familiarize the new minerals program supervisor David Berry with site. In addition to <br />David Berry, Tony Waldron of the Division, Gary Goodrich, Tim Comer, Mark vanoni and <br />Peter O'Conner of CC&V were present. <br />Prior to the arrival of DRMS SUPERS, WATER SAMPLES FROM THE UNDER DRAIN AND LOW VOLUME <br />SOLUTION COLLECTION PIPES FOR Phases IIj III & IV WERE COLLECTED, for wad cyanide <br />analysis WITH Mark Vanoni collecting split samples. Samples were placed in a cooler <br />with ice and delivered to the CDOH&E lab on 11/2/07 at B:OOa.m <br />Inspected the Phase I,II,III&IV leach pad high and low volume solution collection <br />transducers and recorded the following readings. <br />Phase I High volume transducer readout meter for # 1 was still not functioning. # 2 was <br />at 37.9 & #3 was at 40.9. Low volume transducer # 1 was at and # 2 was at 40.9. The <br />piezometer for the pond was measured at 39.1. <br />Phase II & III High Volume solution collection transducer # 4 was recorded at 30.3' #5 <br />was at 33.5 # 6 was at 29.8. Low Volume transducer #1 was at .31 and # 2 was <br />at.40.Piezometer for the pond was recorded at 30.8. <br />Phase IV High volume solution collection transducer # 7 was recorded at 28.4 # 8 was at <br />26.3 # 9 was at 27.5 and #10 was at 28.5. Low volume transducer # 1 was recorded at <br />20.4 and # 2 was at 11.4 inches of hydrostatic head. <br />Inspected the External pond, it was holding some water. Low volume transducer # 1 was <br />recorded at 13.5 and # 2 was at 12.0 . <br />With Dave Berry and Tony Waldron present CC&V gave a brief presentation of the current <br />and future mining plans for the operation. After the brief presentation, drove to the <br />East Cresson area where the backfilling of the pit was observed. Once the last of the <br />mining is completed in the area it will be backfilled and reclaimed as approved in the <br />reclamation plan. <br />Continued the tour to the American Eagle site where Gary explained the over view of the <br />current operation. The main Cresson pit was actively being mined a't the time of the ~ <br />over view description. ~ <br />Continued the inspection to the Iron Clad Globe Hill area. The Victory pad ponds have <br />been drained, liner folded and buried from the south side ponds and removed from the <br />North pond. The north side pond will be used as a storm water detention pond conveying <br />drainage from the road and associated areas .The new Engineering building is almost <br />completed and no problem noted. <br />Contiriued the TOUT t0 the Cameron PAD (M-1991-134). THE SITE USED TO BE AN OLD LEACH <br />PAD that was revoked but later PERMITTED BY CC&V, as a reclamation only permit with a <br />token bond of $7,534.OO.The spent ore is processed as an aggregate to be utilized on <br />and off site. Most of the spent ore has been processed and once CC&V is completed with <br />their portion, the area will be turned over to DBMS AML, program, so they can complete <br />the reclamation. <br />Continued the tour to the Valley leach facility and process plant area where Mr. <br />Goodrich gave a brief description of the over all workings of the Valley leach faculty. <br />
