Box 1523 <br />Longmont, Colorado 80502 <br />(303) 651-2985 <br />Mr. Jim Stevens <br />Mined Land Reclamation Division <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Dear Mr. Stevens, <br /> <br />VO-CyC l'("f,Q.Q, V -Z. Vl,Yka'CS/ <br />I,,, UUs,a.ec{~, r~vrf <br />~y~nC_2r n 5, <br />January 10, 1992 <br />This letter is written in response to the Minerals Program Inspection Report which you <br />and Mr. York-Feirn filed following your November 26, 1991, inspection of the Gold Hil] Mill <br />facilities and the Cash mine permit area. In this letter, I will address several of the issues <br />raised in your observations concerning compliance of the mining and milling operation with <br />the permit and the regulations of the Mined Land Reclamation Board. <br />Gold Hill Ventures is a Colorado mining partnership consisting of Mi Vida Enterprises <br />(a Utah corporation), Cosmos Resources (a Canadian corporation}, and Richard and Gwen <br />Fraser of Seattle, Washington. Mi Vida Enterprises is the owner of the Cash, Who Do, White <br />Cloud, and Wynona mine properties. Colina Oro Molina, Inc. (COM, Inc.) is a Washington <br />corporation owned by Richard and Gwen Fraser. COM, Inc. is the owner of record of the <br />millsite and is a Succeeding Operator under the Cash mine permit No. M-83-141. <br />The application to amend the Cash mine permit to include the Gold Hill Ventures' <br />milling facility stated that the mill "will be used exclusively to process ore from Gold Hill <br />Ventures' properties. The mill will not accept or process third-party or custom ore on a toll <br />milling or contract basis." Proof of local government approval specifying conformance with <br />existing Boulder County zoning regulations was included in the text of the original Cash mine <br />permit application and in the text of the amended permit application which included the milling <br />facility. A copy of my letter of November 1, 1984, addressed to Mr. Steve Ellis, Boulder <br />County Zoning Administrator is attached to this response letter. In this letter, I stated that the <br />proposed mill "will be used exclusively to process ore from our properties" and that "the mill <br />will not accept or process third-party or custom ore." I also made clear that all of the mines <br />and the proposed millsite were within one-half mile of each other and within a contiguous <br />
