SECTION 1.0 2004 Annual Reclamation Report As specified by the revisions (1/3/90) to 2CCR 407-2, 2.04.13, Trapper Mine is submitting an Annual ReGamation Report for the previous calendar year (2004). Historically, section 3.5.3 of Trapper's mining and reGamation permit required a reclamation map be submitted to the CDMG annually by March 15.

The 2004 reclamation map is a composite of the aerial photographs taken in November 2004, and shows the reGamation perforned during 2004 for all areas under bond.
