<br />As you may recall from your site visit in mid-September, BMRI is <br />following a concurrent mining and reclaiming program. At the <br />time of your inspection, we toured topsoil stockpile #1 and waste <br />rock area B where grading and topsoiling activities had been <br />completed. We also toured waste rock C where grading activities <br />were in progress. Since your September visit, topsc~l <br />stockpile ,~2, waste rock areas C and D, and the first lift of the <br />East Pit backfill have been graded, and topsoil spread on waste <br />rock D and the East Pit. Approximately 60 acres of outslopes on <br />waste rock areas have been graded to 3H:1V slopes and topsoiled <br />as required in our approved permit. <br />Based on information from the approved reclamation plan and bond <br />calculations, outslope grading and topsoil replacement for the <br />completed 60 acres would amount to approximately $388,000 worth <br />of reclamation work. At this time, BMRI does not plan to request <br />an incremental bond release. With the completed reclamation <br />activities and the insignificant reclamation costs for the <br />warehouse addition in comparison to the overall reclamation plan, <br />BMRI proposes that the existing bond sufficiently covers all <br />reclamation costs associated with the warehouse addition. <br />The $150 technical revision processing fee is enclosed. <br />If you have any questions, please call. <br />Sincerely, <br />'~lYOu'14 ~ ~+~-c~+ <br />Alana L.
