EXHIBIT C -MINING PLAN <br />Per Rule 6 requirements, the proposed Mount Royale Adit operations will <br />substantively conform to the following described mining plan. <br />(1) MINING PLAN <br />Mount Royale Ventures, LLC proposes to conduct underground <br />exploration, development, and mining via the Mount Royale No. 1 (and <br />No. 2) Adits under MLRD Permit No. M-83-141. Mined ore would be <br />trucked to the nearby Gold Hill Mill (MLRD Permit No. M-94-117) where a <br />precious metals concentrate would be produced by gravity separation and <br />selective flotation methods. The accompanying map [Exhibit E-2(A) - <br />Mine Plan] illustrates pertinent features associated with the mining <br />operation. <br />(a) Period of Mining <br />Mount Royale Ventures, LLC proposes to commence production <br />operations upon receipt of applicable permits and authorizations. It is <br />anticipated that this can be accomplished by approximately mid-2005. <br />Based on current ore reserve estimates and the initially projected nominal <br />mining rate of 50 tons per day, it is anticipated that the Cash and Who Do <br />Mine Project life should span a period of 5 to 20 years. Ultimate project <br />life will be dependent on precious metal prices as well as the results of <br />continued exploration and ore reserve quantification. <br />Potentially economic mineral resources are known to occur in numerous <br />other vein structures underlying or outcropping on nearby mining claims <br />controlled by the company or its principals. In all likelihood, these veins <br />can be mined (accessed) from the existing underground workings via <br />connections currently under development or to be developed in the future. <br />Accordingly, such activity would not result in significant incremental <br />surface disturbance and as such would be accommodated within the <br />subject permit area modification(s). <br />At the present time, several older waste rock piles containing marginal or <br />low-grade ore are present ai various locations of vicinity properties <br />controlled by the company, including some of the formerly relocated Cash <br />Mine stockpile material which is now located on the Gold Hill Mill permit <br />area. While these materials may not be economic to process under <br />current precious metal or processing price structures, it is possible that <br />future market conditions may improve the economic viability of doing so. <br />If so, Mount Royale Ventures, LLC may elect to process such materials. <br />Exhibit C -Mining Plan <br />
