EXHIBIT 6 - MINING PLAN
THIS :RAVEL PIT HAS BEEN AN EXISTING PIT FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.
PRIOR TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER'S OPERATION OF THE PIT. 1NE HAVE
JUST PURCHASED THE PROPERTY IN MARCH ~9~~ AND ARE PLANNING A
CONTINUED OPERATION OF MINING SAND AND GRAVEL FROM AROUND THE
EXISTING AND ABANDONED PIT AREA, AS OUTLINED ON OUR ATTACHED
MAP "EXHIBIT C". IT IS OUR PLAN TO STAR7 THE MINING OPERATION
IN THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE OUTLINED AREA AND WORK IN A
WESTWARDLY DIRECTION NORTH OF THE COLORADO RIVER, LEAVING A
jJ-FT. BERM AREA BETWEEN THE RIVER AND PIT AREA. AND SOUTH OF
THE EXISTING PIT AREA. THIS WILL BE D~~NE WITH DOZERS AND EARTH-
MOVING SCRAPERS REMOVING AND STOCKPILING THE TOP SOIL AND OVER
BURDEN, THEN fnI NING THE PIT RUN SAND AND GRAVEL TO BE CRUSHED
TC SIZC AND SCREENED FOR ROAC BASS MATERIAL. A CERTAIN QUANITY
OF THIS MATERIAL WILL BE CRUSHCD~ SCREE NED~ AND WASHED TO
PRODUCC CUNCRE TE SAND AND AGGREGATES, DEPENDING ON THE LOCAL
DEMANDS IN THE ARCA. THE EXCAVATION OF THIS MATERIAL WILL BE
DONC WITH VARIOUS TYPES OF CARTH IdOVING EQUIPMENT, DEPC LADING
ON THE CONTRACTOR CHOOSEN TO DO THE CRUSHING, SOREENI~~U~ AND

TOWARD THE SOUTH TO THE POINT OF BEGINNING .4 ND THEN WEST TO
THC WI STERN °OUNDARY OF THC PIT. AGA.I N, USING THE OVCR BURDEN
FROM THIS AREA TO RAISE AND WIDEN THE BERM BETWCEN THE COLORADO
RIVER AND THE PIT AREA, WHICH IS OUTLINED ON OUR RECLAMATION
MAP "EXHIBIT E". IT IS OUR OPINION THAT MINING ALL AROUND THE
NOW EXISTING ABANDONED PIT AREAS AND PRODUCING ONE LAKE TO
BE SEPERATED FROM THE COLORADO RIVER WITH A WIDE BERM, WILL
LEAVE THE AFFECTED AREA IN A MUCH MORE ATTRACTIVE APPEARANCE
THAN IT IS AT THIS PRESENT TIMC. ALSO WITH RE FE RCNCE TO "RULE
~.6"~ THIS PROPOSED MINING OPERATION WILL BE LESS THAN MHO DAYS
EACH YEAR OF ITS OPERATION. WE ESTIMATE THAT THIS PROPOSED
MINING WILL BE COMPLETED WITHIN EIGHT TO TEN YCARS~ DEPENDING
UPON THE GROWTH OF THE LOCAL AREA AND THE DEMANDS OF THE
ANTICIPATED OIL SHALE INDUSTRY IN THIS AREA.
