MANAGEMENT <br />On behalf of Bowie Resources Limited, (BRL), enclosed is an application for a technical <br />revision to provide for the construction of a ventilation shaft. The shaft will be <br />constructed on an east facing slope in the Hubbard Creek drainage south of Freeman <br />Gulch. <br />Associated Permit Actions <br />The proposed ventilation shaft will be located on an existing exploration drill site. The <br />light use road and drill pad were constructed during 1999 as part of the Freeman Gulch <br />Exploration Plan, notice of intent number X-98-217-02 issued 9/11/98 and Federal Coal <br />Exploration License number COC-61653 issued 8/24/98. <br />Project Description <br />The existing mine ventilation system is a pressurized system. The proposed ventilation <br />shaft will vent return air to the atmosphere. A fan will not be insta{led on this new shaft. <br />BRL plans to excavate a six to eight foot diameter shaft into the mine and line it with <br />steel. The steel liner will be grouted in place. Excavation will be by raise bore or <br />conventional sinking methods. <br />The drill pad will be expanded as part of this revision. No significant changes are <br />planned for the light use road. <br />Right of Entry <br />The drill pad is located on property owned by the BRL. The light use road is located on <br />both BLM and BRL owned property. BRL has applied for Federal Right-of-Way (COC- <br />63617) so it can utilize the portions of the light use road located on BLM land. <br />iii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii <br />
