Mr. Berhan November 1, Page 3 Keffe~ • 1996 - Amendment no. 3 2) All conveyors in the following areas have been removed. Area 1 Stages 0 and 1, Area 2 Stage 2, Area 3 Stage 3, Area 4 Stages 4-5-6-7-11, Area 5 Stage 10. The conveyor that is now in use, is in Area 5 Stage 8. This is 1060 lineal feet, with a grizzly type hopper on the receiving end. As we proceed with our mining, we will have to gradually add 1400 lineal feet of conveyor. This would go up into Area 5 Stage 12. As mining proceeds the same conveyor will be moved from West to East. No additions will be made until Stage 12 and 13 and part of Stage 9 is mined out. Estimated time would be 2009. Then, we will have to gradually add another 2400 lineal feet to complete this area. 3) Status of Reclamation in Permit no. M - 77-573.

However, we are filling in this lake from east to west. Approximately 7.0 acres have been filled in. Grass planting has also been done on the south and west sides. We will have a continuing effort to fill this lake. This will be used as an Industrial area. Area 3 Stage 3 This area has the backfilling, grading and topsoiling all done. It has grown up with natural vegetation and is serving as a very good wildlife habitat. Area 4 - Stages 4-5-6-7-11 (66.82 acres) We have completed mining in this area. While the water was still down, we backfilled, graded and topsoiled the entire area. It is ready to be seeded now, and our plans are to do this very soon and shut off the pumps. This will result in a 32 to 34 acre Lake. There will be two lakes in this area. The other lake is approximately 5.2 acres. This area has been backfilled, graded, topsoiled and natural vegetation has grown along the shoreline.
