On October 4, 2005 the Division of Minerals and Geology conducted a routine inspection of the Lily
Mines, Permit No. M-1987-028 and found the following:
Measurements on site indicated that approximately .75 acres has been disturbed above and to the west of
the, largest and lowest pit area by tree clearing, access road building and blasting activities. Ill addition,
the waste dump has been extended to the south and trees have been cleared below the access road and to
the west of the waste dump in apparent prepazation for extending the dump to the west.
Based on the data collected, the Division believes the operator is in possible violation of the Mined Land
Reclamation Boazd Order of January 21, 2005 that placed a Cease and Desist Order on any further mine
related disturbance outside the present permit boundary:
The Division will schedule this matter before the Mined Land Reclamation Boazd.
A Formal Public Hearing will be held during the Febnlaly 15-16, 2006 Board meeting for consideration
of the possible violation. The hearing will be held in Room 318 of 1313 Sherman Street, Denver,

thereafter on each of those days as the matter can be considered. At that hearing you will have the
opportunity to be represented and heazd. It will be reiterated that there is reason to believe that you are in
violation of the Boazd Order noted above.
Ifthe Board finds a violation at this hearing, it may issue a Cease and Desist Order, assess a Civil Penalty
in the amount of $100 to $1000 for each day of violation, suspend or revoke the permit, and forfeit the
