RE~~@~/~~ <br />Reclamation Costs DEC 2 7 2006 Exhibit L <br />Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety <br />The worst case bond scenario will occur when Connell Resources has mined out Phase 1 and has <br />begun mining Phase 2. It is assumed that approximately''/z of Phase 2 will be mined out at this <br />point. The road on the perimeter used for access to the pit will remain in place in order to allow <br />access after the site has been reclaimed. There aze no foundations or other structures which will <br />be required to be removed with the reclamation process. At this point, the slopes along Phase 1, <br />and half of the slopes along Phase 2 would be mined out at a O.SH:1 V slope and would require <br />backfilling. In order to reduce the reclamation liability, the slopes along the western side of the <br />portion of Phase 2 which was mined could be knocked down from O.SH:1 V to 3H:1 V rather than <br />backfilling. Additionally the staging azea would have to be reclaimed. All azeas above the static <br />water table will have to be ripped, retopsoiled, harrowed and graded, and finally seeded. The <br />total inclusion azea to be reclaimed in the worst case scenario is 26.08 acres. A breakdown of all <br />costs associated can be seen in the table below: <br />Table L-1 <br />Task # Descri lion Time (da s) Cost <br />1 Removal of all ortable facilities $0 <br />2 Partially Dewater Pit 20 $10,000 <br />3 Knock down west slope of Phase 2 from O.SH:1 V to 3H:1 V for a distance of 820'.
