<br />• X. EXHIBIT I -SOILS INFORMATION <br />The soils information provided to satisfy DMG requirements for Exhibit I includes general U.S. <br />Department of Agriculture (USDA) Soil Conservation information. Site-specific geotechnical boring <br />log data collected by Cooley to evaluate the reserve potential of the property also exists, but it is not <br />included for reasotu of corporate confidentiality. The following summary of soils information is <br />supported by data excerpted from the USDA Soil Conservation Service "Soil Survey of Weld County, <br />Colorado, Southern Part", dated September 1980. <br />Figure C-1 includes an insert that shows the property outline superimposed on a map base from Sheet <br />No. 20 of the referenced UDSA Soil Survey. This mapping indicates only three'soil map units for <br />the property: "3 -Aquolls and Aquents, gravelly substratum", "4 -Aquolls and Aquepts, flooded', <br />and "10 - Bankard sandy loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes". The first two mapped soil units aze deep, <br />poorly drained soils formed in recent alluvium. The latter is a deep, well drained soil formed io <br />stratified recent alluvium along streams and rivers. <br />The distribution of the occurring mapped soil units is shown on an inset map on Figure C-1, Exhibit <br />C - Premining Plan, and detailed descriptions of the units aze provided on the following pages. The <br />property has been drilled by Cooley and by others at an average boring density of approximately one <br />boring per every six acres. The site-specific boring information is considered confidential by Cooley, <br />but can be made available to DMG on that basis if necessary. <br />~~ <br />25 <br />K~A <br />
