<br />EXHIBIT D -hater Resources - There are no rater requirements in the mining operations.
<br />EXHIBIT E - Reclamation Plan - Canister Quarry (cross ref, map 3 red area & pictures C & D),
<br />The 15' highxall (cross ref, map 3 red area E do picture C on left) rill
<br />remain in the quarry after reclamation is completed. By terracing the
