EXHIBIT "D" (CONTINUI~) <br />MINING PLAN <br />TRIANTOS GRAVEL PIT <br />PAGE 2 <br />Phase II: covering approximately 10.85 acres encompasses the middle one-third of the <br />permitted area. The western middle portion of Phase II has already been disturbed by the <br />removal of some overburden and has stockpiles of topsoil ready to be placed back over <br />the northern portion of Phase I during Phase I reclamation. Phase II will be mined in <br />west to east lanes and will take approximately 6 mining years to mine the 8.7 acres of <br />unmined gravel deposits. Total area for Phase II is approximately 10.85 acres. <br />Phase III: covering approximately 11.03 acres encompasses the eastern one-third of the <br />permitted area. Phase III will be primarily mined in west to east lanes. However, the <br />southeast portion will be mined in a southeasterly direction to facilitate the removal of <br />gravel from the southeast corner of the permitted area. There are approximately 8.3 <br />acres of unmined gravel deposits in Phase III and will take 5 mining years to mine. Total <br />area for Phase III is approximately 11.03 acres. <br />All phases wver a continuous gravel deposit and will not require pioneered access when <br />moving from one phase to another. <br />Total acreage in all phases is 34.32 acres, containing approximately ]9.7 acres of <br />unmined gravel deposits. As mining progresses, the areas previously disturbed (5 - 10) <br />acres will be reclaimed as required and the gravel stockpile area will be moved in <br />relation to the staging area. <br />The deposit being mined is a gravel/rock layer approximately 20 feet thick covered with <br />an overburden 0 - 15 feet thick. The stratum below the deposit is shale. <br />Due to the fact that this pit is utilized once a year or less for 60 - 90 day periods, the <br />actual time schedule for completion of each 2 - 10 acre increment within the phases is <br />difficult to predict. It will be a number of years before the mining operation is <br />completed. <br />TRIAND.DOC <br />-14- <br />
