Energy <br />Fuels Coal, Inc. ("EFCI") has recently acquired a coal mining lease <br />from the City of Florence, Colorado which allows mining on a. small <br />parcel of land located adjacent to the southwestern portion of the <br />• existing permit area. Refer to Map 1, Florence Lease Mine Plan map. <br />Both the surface and coal are owned by the City of Florence. A copy <br />of the lease agreement granting the right to mine to EFCI from Florenc? <br />is attached as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference. <br />The Florence property consists of 80 acres located in T20S R70w of <br />the 6th P.M. Section 25, SW1/4 SW1/4 and Section 26, SE1/4 SE1/4, <br />or which 12.4 acres contain mineable coal, The proposed permit area <br />expansion as shown on Map 1, Florence Lease Mine Plan, includes 16.2 <br />acres located in the northeastern corner of the Florence property. <br />This increase amounts to 1, 2$ of the total area presently included <br />within the permit area. <br />The proposed mine plan for the area is an extension of the present <br />mining operations located in the 5th South submain. Currently, mininc <br />is occurring in the "B" panel located immediately north of the Florence <br />Lease. Upon completion of mining in the "B" panel development of <br />the "C" panel will begin and will approach the Florence Lease from the <br />east side. Based on current mining plans ,and production schedules, <br />mining activities will encroach onto the Florence Lease on or about <br />June 1, 1986. The mining limit shown on Map 1, Florence Lease Mine <br />Plan is well defined by the axis of the Chandler Syncline which has <br />been intersected in the "A" and "B" panel as well as the submains in <br />5th South. Upon completion of the "C" _~anel development the entire <br />panel will be pillared and abandon:d. .:111 mining should be completed <br />• during the next 12 to 18 mo:iths w`•._'-:?.~ :he area covered by this tech- <br />nical revision request. <br />
