III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII <br />999 <br />• <br />l J <br />EXHIBIT D <br />MINING PLAN <br />This Exhibit, through reference to the sections itemized below, contains the <br />description of methods to be employed in mining the ore and overburden materials and <br />associated beneficiation of the ore for Amendment No. 8. The sections referenced below <br />provide a description of method(s) of mining to be employed; discussion of earthmoving; <br />water diversions and impoundments; the size of area(s) to be worked; and an approximate <br />timetable for the operations. <br />In addition, the sections referenced below describe the nature, depth, and <br />thickness of the ore bodies to be mined; the primary and secondary commodities to be <br />mined; and the intended use. Gold and silver continue to be the primary commodities <br />mined at the site. There will be materials extracted within the permit boundary for use as <br />construction materials for Amendment No. 8 activities. In addition, from time to time, <br />other entities aze given authorization by CC&V to remove earth materials (usually <br />overburden) from the site for use elsewhere. Those activities are discussed in the Project <br />Description provided at the end of this Volume I. Note that the Mined Land Reclamation <br />Boazd ("MLRB") Permit M-91-134 continues to be independent of the Cresson Project <br />(but is contained within the boundaries of the Cresson Project permit azea) and involves <br />the removal of material (e.g. gravel, aggregate, fines, etc.) for use in construction <br />elsewhere. <br />This Exhibit is contained in the Project Description in Sections 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, <br />9.0, and 10.0 of Volume I of this application. The contents of each section aze described <br />below. <br />Section 5.0 Mining and Operations Management Plan <br />Section 6.0 Valley Leach Facility <br />Section 7.0 Precious Metals Recovery Facility <br />Section 8.0 Support Facilities <br />Section 9.0 Surface Water Management <br />Section 10.0 Monitoring <br />A number of appendices also contain information pertinent to the Mining Plan. These <br />appendices aze referenced in the appropriate discussions in the Project Description which <br />follows these exhibits. <br />• D- I <br />
