In your summary you requested that BIM expedite the approval process <br />for this program. Approval is given by the BIM District manager for <br />exploration programs within the manager's District. Approval can only be <br />given for planned drill hole sites that are within boundaries of an area <br />legally controlled by MCC for the purpose of exploration drilling. Therefore <br />the sites are outlined for approval with conditions as follows: <br />1. Sites S, T, V, and W on Federal coal lease C-1362 are approved. <br />2. Sites J, J-Alt, L, M-Alt, and I on Federal exploration license <br /> COC54360 are approved. It should be noted that sites A, B, C, <br /> E, F, G, H, N, 0, and P are also approved in the event that the <br /> opportuni ty arises to complete drilling on any of these sites in <br /> 1994. <br />3. Sites R, and U on Fee coal are approved wi th the understanding that <br /> Federal coal is being indirectly explored. <br />4. Site Q on the Box Canyon Federal explorati on license area is <br /> approved on the condition that the license applied for is issued. <br />The Colorado State Office of the BLM is working on license issuance for the <br />Box Canyon Federal exploration license. In the process of that issuance, the <br />BLM Montrose District Manager's approval of the exploration plan will be <br />documented to the files in the Colorado State Office. <br />If you have any questions please call Desty Dyer at 303-249-7791. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Alan L.
