Page 2 <br />Two more ventilation holes will be required for the <br />• mine with additional power lines being required. These <br />intake ventilation holes will be utilized in conjunction <br />with breakthroughs to contiguous mines for air quality <br />control. These vent hole locations are shown on the <br />development map. <br />EY~om exploration drilling and a knowledge of what the <br />mines of the general area have encountered in the past, no <br />water problem is expected. If any amount of water is en- <br />countered, it will be pumped to the main sump, clarified <br />and re-used in drilling. <br />The surface plant consists of a shop building, a com- <br />pressor building, an. electrical substation, a mine waste <br />dump, along with"a haulage road, ore storage pad, and an <br />• equipment and supply storage area. These Facilities are <br />located adjacent to the mine portal and will not disturb <br />more than 5 to 6 acres of surface. <br />The time required to complete the development is shown <br />on the development map. Eaough development will be done_so <br />that stoping can commence and then both stoping and develop- <br />ment will be conducted simultaneously. M;n{ ~ will be at <br />the rate of 150 tons per day on a 250 day-pear. This will <br />enable the mine to operate approximately 15 years at this <br />rate. But due to the erratic nature of the Uravan Mineral <br />Belt's ore deposits and past mining experience in the area, <br />the life of this mine may be extended. This extension will <br />. be due in part to further delineating ore horizons by surface <br />drilling and underground longhole drilling from development <br />headings. <br />
