On August 30, 1993, we received a copy of your office's August 27, 1993 letter
sent to Mr. Jim Tatum requesting a copy of the March 8, 1993 report prepared
by Colorado Real Estate Inspection Services, Inc. for Mr. Tatum.
In this letter to Mr. Tatum, you stated "I requested a copy of the report
prepared for you by Colorado Real Estate Inspection Service of Denver from
Mr. Daniel I. Hernandez, Senior Reclamation Specialist of the
Division of Minerals and Geology. He was either unable or unwilling to
give me a copy of that report." ~-
Please understand that our recommendation to your office that it obtain a copy
of this report from Mr. Tatum directly was not an effort on our office's part
to be uncooperative with requests from your office for information about the
Golden Eagle Mine. We understand that Mr. Tatum is currently involved in
litigation with Basin Resources, Inc. As such, when Mr. Tatum provides our
offices with information that states "For the Exclusive Use of Mr. Jim Tatum,"
and our office has not received specific approval from Mr. Tatum to make that
information widely available, we must exercise caution with its use.
Please also understand that copyright matters are also a consideration
for us when proprietary data is submitted to our offices. As
Colorado Real Estate Inspection Services, Inc. provides its reports to clients
for a fee, photocopying of their proprietary materials without their approval
can place the Division in precarious legal position as well, especially when
that service is requested by a client as part of litigative proceedings.
