Bonds release antici ated.. Site and boundary markings All mining claims in this application are marked with standazd claim markers and notices as required by law. Claim boundaries are marked with posts set at the four corners and at each of the center sides. These posts aze topped with 4 inches of red paint, below which is another 4 inches of white paint. Most posts are standazd, 4 x 4 inch posts, 4 feet long. Claim notices are located at discovery points as indicated on our claim lode maps attached to Exhibit G. Location papers aze stored in waterproof cans at the foot of these posts. Ail proposed excavation sites aze marked with 18-inch survey stakes, most with painted red tops. These stakes are set to cover the site azeas as outlined on the maps in Exhibit E. Areas aze staked according to GPS locations corcesponding to Exhibit E maps. Generally it will not be necessary to excavate the entire site which is staked, nor is this planned. It is uneconomical to do so. The areas aze marked, that in the case mineralized areas are encountered which run generally to one side or other of the center of the proposed excavation site, we will still be able to excavate the planned azea without exceeding the size of excavation site indicated in this application. 6.3.3 (~ (bl Soil composition and deQth~ Soils vary from absent to 3 inches deep in the grassy and lower areas. Most soils under the conifer canopies are less than 1 inch thick although thick deposits ofconifer-needle dufl'can reach to 6 inches deep locally under some clumps of trees. All soils in this area are naturally acidic soils due to the conifer cover and granitic composition. Much of the soil has been destroyed by the fire, especially on Sites A through D, F, J and K. Even so, this will be stockpiled as best as possible and protected by additional subsoil. The addition of carbon to the soil upon reclamation will be beneficial to new growth.
