This will <br /> cover any reclamation work that might be required if we didn't satisfactorily self reclaim <br /> small surface disturbances caused by our current surface diamond drill programs. We plan <br /> to diamond drill from the surface on our patented claims up to 25 holes this year from <br /> various locations. The drill sites require disturbance of an area approximately 20' x 20' or <br /> 400 square feet. Occasionally we clean-up and make old roadways more accessible for <br /> servicing the drill and allowing crew access. Any surface disturbance caused by this work <br /> will be fully reclaimed by our crews upon completion of each drill site location within two <br /> to four weeks after the drilling has stopped. The drill sites are kept clean during drilling. <br /> Oils sorbent rags are used to catch any drops of oil that may drip from the core rig. Trash <br /> is stored in a proper can and collected as required. Sediment trenches and catch basins are <br /> built to catch any drill cuttings. These cuttings will be transported to our ore storage area <br /> upon completion of the drill sites. Drill sites and access roads will be placed back into their <br /> original contour with a hydraulic excavator or back hoe. Rocks will be placed to resemble <br /> the original character of the land. Top soil will be spread and raked as required and <br /> seeding with a native seed mix will follow. Tree seedlings will be planted if any trees are <br /> disturbed. We have asked the drill contractor to place a muffler on the drill to help keep <br /> sound levels at a minimum. Upon completion of the MP 1 - 10 drill hole program and <br /> reclamation program, I would like to invite you and your staff up to inspect our <br /> reclamation work. <br /> In addition to our self reclamation work on the 1994 surface drill sites, we will <br /> complete construction on our zeolite filtration systems at the Cross and Caribou Mines at <br /> a cost of approximately $25,000.00. Construction work has already commenced on these <br /> programs with a completion date of August 15, 1994. We have also commenced work on <br /> our Storm water permit. Shortly the Division will receive from me a progress report <br /> update on this work. We have hired Walsh and Associates in Boulder, Colo. to help us <br /> monitor the permit requirements for Storm water. Because we were unable to ship our <br /> small ore stockpile to the Virginia Canyon Mill, the entire pile was leveled into the secured <br /> storage area at the Cross Mine surface plant. The ore is being covered with 3/4" road base <br /> to prevent any water runoff from accessing the ore and it is now in a very stable <br /> containment area.
