(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-1998-n5s <br />INSPECTION DATE: ~ t/1l4/n5 INSPECTOR=S INITIALS: TAS <br />1. A site inspection of the Tellier Pit was made as part of the Division's 4-year inspection program. Present during the <br />inspection was Mr. Art Morrissey of Connell Resources, Inc. <br />2. The site is active with excavation occurring in the southwest (Phase II) portion of the permit area. All mining activities <br />were found to be within the permit area and in accordance with the approved mine plan. The operator has done a good <br />job of contemporaneous reclamation for areas that have already been mined through. The mine site was very clean and <br />orderly and it was evident that the operator's intent is to comply with all applicable regulations. <br />3. All required corrective actions as noted in NOV MV-2001-029 and the Division's previous inspection report of June 14, <br />2001 have been completed. (This is where the operator had inadvertently disturbed an estimated surface acreage of 0.2 <br />acres outside the permit boundary in the northwest portion of the permit area). The operator has also carefully <br />established the true and accurate boundaries of the 25 acre permit area. <br />4. This inspector finds that the existing $80,000 corporate surety bond is adequate to complete reclamation of the current <br />disturbance. <br />5. The operator has done a good job of maintaining an adequate buffer from the gas pipeline running from east to west <br />throughout the northern half of the permit area, and the intermittent drainage and associated riparian zone that runs <br />from north to south immediately east of the permitted area. <br />6. Digital photographs of the mine site and reclaimed areas were taken and are attached to this report. <br />7. This inspector appreciates the operator's attitude toward reclamation and compliance with Construction Material Rules <br />& Regulations. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Art Morrissey <br />OPERATOR: Connell Resources.
