RECLAMATION COSTS EXHIBIT L <br />The worst case reclamation scenario will occur immediately after Phase 9 has been mined out. At <br />this point, the entire length of the slopes along the north side of Phases 10, 11 and 12 would be <br />mined out at O.SH:1 V in addition to the slope on the East side of Phase 9 requiring backfilling. <br />As stated in the mining plan, enough material will be left in place on the East side of Phase 9 to <br />knock down the slopes from O.SH:1 V to 2H:1 V. This slope would then have to be backFilled the <br />additional amount of material to bring the slopes from 2H:1 V to 3H:1 V. The slopes on the north <br />side of Phases 10, 11, and 12 would not require any backfilling. In order to reduce the <br />reclamation liability, these slopes could be knocked down from O.SH:1 V to 3H:1 V for a distance <br />of 2485' since there will be enough material and space in these Phases to allow for United <br />Companies to do so. Additionally the staging area would have to be reclaimed. All areas above <br />the static water table will have to be ripped, retopsoiled, harrowed and graded, and finally <br />seeded. The total inclusion area to be reclaimed in the worst case scenario is 21.86 acres. If for <br />any reason mining ceased in an area where a peninsula was to be built and the peninsula has not <br />been created yet, it will not be included in the reclamation in order to decrease the liability. A <br />breakdown of all costs associated can be seen in the table below: <br />Anderson Pit January 06 L-1 <br />
