Mathews <br />Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division MINED LAND RECLAMATION DIVISION <br />423 Centennial Building Colo. Dept. of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver, Colorado 60203 <br />Re: Permit Minor Modification-Warehouse Facility <br />Bear Coal Company, Inc. <br />Dear Dan: <br />In response to your expressed concern relative to additional bonding <br />liability for the new warehouse facility at the Bear Coal minesite; I <br />have prepared the enclosed bonding cost estimate for disassembly and <br />removal of the warehouse building. Costs for site rehabilitation and <br />reclamation have previously been included in the Bear Coal Bonding <br />Cost Estimate, so they are not included in this estimate to avoid <br />duplication. <br />As you are aware, Bear Coal currently maintains a bond in the amount <br />of $16,366.97 as surety for reclamation of the Bear Coal Mine No. 1 <br />portal and facilities, the Mine No. 2 portal, and the associated coal <br />handling facilities. With the acquisition by Anaconda Minerals of a <br />portion of the Bear Coal properties Anaconda has assumed complete <br />financial responsibility, including bond liability, for the Bear Coal <br />Mine No. 1 site and facilities and the coal handling facilities. It <br />is also my understanding that reclamation of the Bear Coal Mine No. 2 <br />portal is materially complete. Based upon this information, it is <br />Bear Coa] Company's desire to obtain bond release on the 411,139.50 <br />surety associated with the former Bear properties which are now owned <br />by Anaconda and partial bond release in the amount of $3,136.48 <br />(x5,227.47 x 0.60) for the backfilling, grading, and topsoil <br />replacement work which has been completed on the Bear No. 2 Mine site. <br />Upon approval of bond release as noted, it is Bear Coal Company's <br />intent to transfer the surety of $14,275.98 to cover the additional <br />bonding Tiability associated with the warehouse facility. At the time <br />the transfer of surety is effected, Bear Coal Company will make <br />provision for an additional band amount of $125.00 such that the total <br />bond surety of $14,400.00 is equal to the estimated bond liability <br />associated with the warehouse facility. <br />
