(DMO) status determination. The Division is in agreement with the commitments and
timeframes proposed by MRV.
7. Re: Describe the groundwater gradient within the Cash Mine and in the surrounding
area. It is the Division's position that discussion and methods for determination of the
groundwater gradient within the Cash Mine and surrounding azea will need to be incorporated
into the comprehensive groundwater sampling and analysis plan, specified in Item 9 below.
S. Re: Characterization of the ambient groundwater quality within the Cash Miue and
surrounding area. The Division agrees with MRV's discussion provided thus far of how MVR
will maintain the integrity of "ambient" groundwater quality at the Cash Mine for collection of 4
additional quarters worth of baseline data in the midst of planned underground exploration and/or
development activities. To complete this discussion, the Division requests that MRV provide a
representative cross sectional diagram (or schematic) of the Cash Mine which shows the location
of the baseline water quality sampling point and its relation to the Cash Mine shaft and current
