,, <br />. P~-5~ <br />5~ <br />6.3.3 EXHIBIT C -Mining Plan <br />(1) Ongoing from m-81-193 <br />(a) Lifetime of mine forty years or expenditures of the <br />resources (Topaz gem stones) <br />(b) The site has a good layer of top soil varying from <br />4 to 7 inches. In 1954 the Forest Service stripped a <br />considerable amount of top soil off the site and piled <br />it up probably for reclamation, the mine has used some <br />of it for reclamation on areas that have been previously <br />stripped by the National Forest. All new areas are being <br />excavated, the top soil will be salvaged and any new <br />stock piling will be stabilized with the vegetation cover <br />until it is used in reclamation. A major portion of the <br />bonded area is not in the gemstone alluvium fan so <br />consequently this will not be excavated. The maximum <br />amount of excavation disturbance will not exceed one <br />acre at a given time over the next five years, exposed <br />areas will tighten up. The reclamation will take place <br />on a yearly basis and will be seeded back by <br />recommendations from soil conservation. <br />(c) The gem bearing grounds and bolders are from the top <br />down no over burden needs to be removed to reach <br />deposit. <br />(d) 2 to 12 ft <br />(e) Roads exists on Forest Servvice Rd # 311 <br />This is a small operation no permanent buildings on site. <br />Maintenance tools and supplies are kept in JPM tents,one <br />tent is used for small amounts of processing . This is a <br />placer deposit everything is on the surface, a small <br />screening plant is used for processing (30 in by 72 in) <br />For the time being all items are removed in the off season <br />the 1st of October until the 1st of May .
