<br />(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-1978-222UG <br />INSPECTION DATE 11-27-2001 <br /> <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS SSS <br />This inspection was conducted to verify compliance with corrective actions required for problems identified in DMG's June 4, <br />2001 inspection of this site. Corrective actions required installation of a mine identification sign and permit boundary markers <br />as well as submittal of an updated map and site description for the multiple site locations addressed by this permit. <br />A mine identification sign has been installed just off of County Road DD15 on the Wilson claim which is the access to the <br />Monogram, Buckhorn, and Great Hesper portions of this permit area. Other portions of the permit area not located on this <br />section of road, including the MaryAnn 4(south), Canopus Mine, Capella Mine, Gray/Blackpoint prospects, and Sunnyside <br />prospect, remain without the required sign though some were marked with a T-post so they could be found easier. No permit <br />boundary markers were noted. The operator indicated that identification of the actual affected area is difficult due to numerous <br />pre-law disturbances in these areas. <br />The operator has submitted updated site descriptions for the multiple locations under this permit. Additionally, recent photos, <br />and maps of a majority of the locations under this permit have been submitted. <br />A fresh blanket of snow hampered identification of affected areas during this inspection so verification of those affected area <br />boundaries specified on the new map was not possible. It is suggested that DMG and International Uranium Corp. conduct <br />a detailed inspection of this permit area in the spring of 2002 to identify the affected area boundaries of the multiple sites under <br />this permit so additional mine identification signs and required boundary markers can be installed during that inspection. <br />This proposed inspection could also apply as a release inspection for any of these sites that International Uranium Corp. <br />believes to be reclaimed and desires to release. The reclamation cost estimate for these sites will be calculated at that time, <br />after a thorough inspection and determination of what areas and tasks are to be included in that reclamation cost estimate. <br />The problems noted in the previous inspection report will not be fully resolved until the affected areas are identified, agreed <br />upon by IUC and DMG, and adequately marked, signed, and mapped. The recently submitted maps and site descriptions may <br />be adequate to resolve the records problem, but that cannot be verified until the "onyround" affected areas are identified. The <br />correction dates for the two problems are hereby eMended to June 14, 2002. The proposed inspection should be scheduled <br />as soon as the sites are accessible and ground conditions allow identification of the current disturbance. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Steve Shuey at the Division of Minerals and Geology, Grand Junction <br />Field Office, 101 South 3rd Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, phone number 970-243368. <br />NAME <br />OPERATOR <br />STREET <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP <br />cc: <br />^ CE <br />^ BL <br />^ FS <br />^ HW <br />^ HMWMD ICH) <br />^ SE <br />^ WOCD ICH) <br />^ OTHER <br />
