Notice of Intent to Explore <br />Involving Removal of 250 Tons or Less of Coal <br />Terror Creek 2D Seismic Survey <br />Delta County, Colorado <br />June 2006 <br />r1 <br />U <br />Introduction <br />This plan is submitted to the Division of Minerals & Geology, Colorado Department of <br />Natural Resources, in accordance with the Colorado Surface Coal Mining <br />Reclamation Act, 34 -33 -101 et seq., C. R. S. 1973 as Amended, Section 34 -33 -117, <br />and the Rules promulgated thereunder. Further references will be in the form of <br />§2.02.2(2)(c). Bowie Resources, LLC may hereinafter be referred to as BRL and <br />Bowie. <br />Purpose <br />BRL proposes to complete a 2D seismic data acquisition project in order to examine <br />the geologic subsurface structure. The need for the project is to determine the <br />location and orientation of known and inferred faults that may negatively impact the <br />extraction of coal resources in the project area. The proposed 2D survey would <br />generate data that may be used to more accurately define the location and sizes of <br />potential longwall recovery blocks, thereby reducing the risks and uncertainties <br />associated with fault encounters and maximizing the recovery of federal coal <br />reserves. Data gathered from the surface may reduce unnecessary drilling and <br />construction of associated roads, well pads, and other surface disturbances. The <br />survey may verify and /or supplement the existing subsurface geologic data and could <br />facilitate collection of new data in the project area where geophysical surveys and /or <br />drilling have not occurred. BRL holds federal coal leases in the area of the proposed <br />2D geophysical exploration and needs immediate accumulation of subsurface data <br />so that it can determine the viability of drilling in the near future. <br />Notice of Intent information <br />§2.02.2(2)(a): Name, Address, and phone number of applicant <br />Name: Bowie Resources, LLC <br />Address: P. O. Box 483, Paonia, CO 81428 <br />Phone No: (970) 929 -5367 <br />§2.02.2(2)(b): Name, Address, and telephone number of the representative <br />of the applicant who will be present during and be <br />responsible for conducting the exploration activities. <br />To be designated immediately prior to initiation of exploration operations. <br />
