Golden Eaale Mine, oe. 2 <br />This same saturation area was described by Mr. Gerity as only a small damp area during his 1997 <br />investigations here, and apparently recently it has exhibited more water and spring-like flow <br />characteristics. Ms. Tatum wrote a letter dated September 7, 2000, to DMG objecting to a <br />proposed bond release at the Golden Eagle Mine and describing this potential water line break. <br />Ms. Tatum indicated during the inspection she had not contacted the City of Trinidad. I <br />recommend the Tatum's contact the City of Trinidad as soon as possible. <br />After our general discussion I recommended we begin photographing any areas of concern on the <br />outside of the home, and then finish by photographing concerns identified inside. Following aze <br />general descriptions of the sequence of areas photographed, and general observations in those <br />specific areas. I will label each photo with specific descriptions from my notes, and provide <br />copies of the photos to Ms. Tatum and Basin Resources, Inc. <br />We began at the south facing exterior wall where I took two photos showing cracks in the stucco <br />around bathroom window and general photo of the courtyard entrance arch and south face of the <br />house. The second story of the south side was heavily repaired both inside and out down to the <br />adobe brick and then stuccoed. East side exterior wall I took two photos showing surface cracks <br />in the stucco; north and northeast facing exterior walls I took two photos showing stucco crack <br />adjacent to outside of kiva fireplace curve where it meets the wall, and on the kiva curve; one <br />photo of the southeast facing comer of courtyard wall, a crack in stucco where it meets the <br />driveway; six photos of the west facing exterior house wall and garage wall showing cracks in <br />stucco on garage and home, and two new cracks (as identified above, new cracks, not being <br />evident prior to the 1996 & 1997 repairs) one on the garage wall, and one on the south facing end <br />of the portico wall where it meets the garage wall; two photos of the water saturated surface in <br />the pasture; one photo from west subsidence monitoring station at railroad grade to the home; <br />one photo of a land slump adjacent to railroad grade; and one general photo of the west face of <br />the home. This concluded the outside evaluation. <br />We began photographing inside in the kitchen where I took three photos of stucco cracks in the <br />walls and around the kitchen window and cabinet. Two of these areas were new cracks (as <br />described above) around the kitchen window and at the cabinet; one photo of a bump in the <br />dining room floor which has gotten worse over time and stucco swelling /cracking in dining <br />room neaz ceiling on west wall; two photos in south bathroom of stucco cracks around window; <br />three photos of stucco cracks in downstairs south bedroom; one photo in office of cracking / <br />peeling latex paint wall finish; three photos in rock / kiva room showing cracking stucco near <br />ceiling viga at entry to living room and around window frame on the east wall; four photos in the <br />TV room showing displacement between ceiling viga and finished east wall, between flooring <br />and east wall, and cracks around window on east wall; one photo upstairs master bedroom of <br />displacement at ceiling viga; and two photos of wood ceiling in west downstairs bedroom which <br />has worsened since repair. This concluded the photographing inside. <br />
