This investigation <br />will attempt to determine any connection or communication between <br />the air shaft and the well. This will be done, in part, through <br />characterization of the geology of strata which were penetrated <br />during shaft construction, including Che existence of any strata <br />which serve as an aquifer, the extent of any aquifers and <br />characteristics of same. <br />If we believe that communication or connection between the two <br />bores exists then we would continue our investigation and attempt <br />to determine if the air shaft has had an adverse impact to the <br />Tatum well. <br />With regard to the subsidence issue, we will continue our <br />investigation by conducting an on-site subsidence impact evaluation <br />of the Tatum residence with the consent and cooperation of the <br />Tatuma. Our experts will attempt to determine if the adverse <br />impacts which the Tatums allege their residence is experiencing are <br />related to subsidence from the Golden Eagle 1st North Main <br />underground workings or not. <br />Our goal is to commence these investigation within the next few <br />weeks. These investigations may take several weeks to complete. <br />Some investigative work will need to be conducted in the field and <br />is therefore subject to weather. In addition, if representatives <br />from the Western Service Center would like to participate in our <br />investigation, we would welcome their participation. <br />
