AZURITE, Inc. 10001 County Road 12 PO Box 338 Cotopaxi, CO 81223 719-942-4178 Fax : 719-942-4178 September 13, 2006 Mr. Tim Byrne Colorado Lime 13800 Monfort Drive Suite 330 Dallas, TX 75240 Deaz Sir, Colorado Marble, Inc., has recently applied to the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology for a conversion of their reclamation permit type 110 to a type 112 regular construcfion materials permit for their Lilly Mines pit located north of Garfield, CO, in Section 22, Township 50 North, Range 6 E, NMPM, in Chaffee County, Colorado. The Lilly Mines borders Colorado Lime patented mining claims located in Section 22, patented claim #4488 The Shamrock and #4487 The Major . During a recent survey of the properties included in the permit area and adjacent land owners, it was co~rmed that a small area of land (35' x 250') within your Shamrock patented mining claim had been disturbed by a former miner/contractor for road construction to access adjacent Colorado Mazble, Inc., mining property. Due to the fact that road construction crosses over Taylor Gulch drainage and the recent confirmafion of ownership, Colorado Mazble, Inc, would prefer to reclaim the road cut disturbance on Colorado Lime property and not include the disturbed ground within their permitted area. The Mined Land Reclamation Board has directed Colorado Marble to include all recently disturbed lands within the new permit boundaries or reclaim any disturbed land not included within the new permit area. Colorado Mazble, Inc., commits to backfilling, topsoiling, seeding, and mulching in accordance with their mining and reclamation plan, to return the disturbed area (.2 acre) to its original status. Colorado Mazble requests your confirmation of this commitment and a formal statement to the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology that Colorado Lime does not wish to grant access to the disturbed land for any purpose other than reclamation activities. An ownership map showing the land boundaries as defined by a 2005 land survey of the area and the .2 acre pazcel in question is included for your reference. As of the writing of this letter, the former road cut has been backfilled, topsoiled, and seeded. This reclamation work has not changed accessibility to your mining claims from Forest Service Road 228, which crosses the southern portion of your Shamrock mining claim.
