SCy~F1.1 am cTin,~ 1 eea~rrr,~iz~ ~~a ~~ P.O. Box 222! Granite, Colorado 81228 260-668-Q362 September 9, zoos $Ep 1 2 2005 Sivision o! Minerals and GeoloBY Division of Mineral and Geology Dept. of Natural Resources 1313 Sherman St, Room 15 Denver, Colorado 80203 Bruce Hunphries: After rereading again Erica Crosby's Mineral Program Inspection Report dating 9-27-04 we feel we are entitled to a correction report on this inspection! 1. She noted that we should amend the 110(2) permit application ro properly~reflect the permit area of 2.8 acres. We were cheated out of 9.9 acres that other miners got before and after we applied for our permit. We have as yet to find out why we didn't get 9.9 acres! We paid $875.00 with a yearly assessment fee of $225.00 since Jim Dilley's inspection which at that time he noted a change from $75.00 to $225.00 in 8-12-98. We feel we only got 2.8 acres because of the an inexperienced employee of the DMG when we received our permit in 1992. Also she fail to exclude the roads that existed pre-law or pre permit, which does not make us in violation on a 2.8 acre permit. She also stated the amendment must be received by the DMG on or before November 6, 2004 even though at that time there was not proper paper work to do an amendment. 2. She also noted the maintenance building and the reclamation cost. If she would had bothered to read Jim Dilley's report he should have noted the building was not in the effective area as Dilley and us discussed. 3. She also noted the creation and reclamation of the waste pile. Let it be noted that on such a small amount of acreage to work in, 1.3 acres, it is impossible to be able to wash 7Q 000 tons of gravel per year and keep the tailings and rock from the discharge reclaimed with an ongoing operation. 4. She wanted documentation that we have water rights. This is after 13 years of inspections by other specialists!
