Mining of Foxhill Silica Sand and Clay started years <br />ago on the north end of the property line. We are now mining <br />on the south end of the property and advancing north on the clay <br />vein and also west on other veins. We will mine clay to the <br />property line along the hill to the north, south and caest. <br />This clay is mined with an HD-11 Cat and stockpiled on the <br />northeast side of the pit until it is hauled by truck to the <br />Brick Plants in Denver. <br />The overburden varies in depth from four to twelve feet. The <br />clay pit varies in depth from four to thirty feet from the surface, <br />depending on the depth of the clay vein. The overburden is used <br />as fill as we advance with the pit and graded to 1:1. There are <br />no highwalls at this site. <br />EXHIBIT C - Map <br />See attached. <br />EXHIBIT D - Wildlife, iVater Resources, Vegetation and Soils Information <br />Wildlife Species: Coyote, magpie, skunk, small rodents, <br />prairie dogs, raptors, seasonal songbirds, deer, fox, cottontail <br />rabbits. <br />Water Resources: No available water except for rain and <br />snowfall. <br />Vegetation: Native grasses, cool season fortis and shrubs. <br />The dominant grasses are western ~aheatgrass, green needlegrass, <br />- 1 - <br />
