Box 1600 <br />Alamosa, Co. 81101 <br />Attention: Mr. Gary Dodson <br />ACTIVE FAULTING POTENTIAL OF THE SAN LUIS SEGMENT <br />SANGRE DE CRISTO FAULT ZONE, COLORADO <br />Gentlemen: <br />Enclosed is my report on the active faulting <br />potential of the San Luis fault segment of the Sangre <br />de Cristo fault adjacent to the Battle Mountain Gold <br />property in San Luis Valley. This report expands on tae <br />benchmark seismic hazard assessment completed earlier. <br />• This effort comprises two parts. First, a literature study <br />provides the tectonic setting of the area and assesses the <br />potential for future faulting near the mine site. Sec~~nd, <br />a semi-Markhov analysis provides an estimate of the <br />probability of occurrence of future surface faulting earth- <br />quakes along the San Luis segment of the Sangre de Cristo <br />fault in the next 100 years. <br />The major conclusion is that it is unlikely <br />(probability of less than 12 percent) that a surface rupture <br />will occur within the next 100 years. I have enjoyed working <br />with you on this project, if I can be of further help, <br />please feel free to contact me. <br />S'ncerel.y <br />I Charles E:.
