Crushing operations will be set up on the west side of the canyon that runs through the middle of <br />the leased property. The canyon is approximately 120 feet deep and allows for the mining of <br />material in benches down the face of the canyon. <br />The quantity of material available for crushing has been estimated to a depth of 150 feet. If the <br />estimate is correct, approximate 242,000 cubic yards of raw material is available per acre mined. <br />During the first year of mining operations it is believed that we will process and transport <br />approximately 600 tons per day. <br />The mining process is proposed to occur in phases, with each phase consisting of five acres. <br />Phase 1 has been started by the previous permit holder and will continue to be our first phase of <br />operation. Once the first phase mining is complete, restoration of that area will then be <br />completed. Restoration will consist of restoring the land to a Range Land nature. <br />Equipment for the production construction materials will be permitted through the various <br />authorizing agencies prior to each being placed in operation. This site, operation and final <br />reclamation will be permitted through the State of Colorado, Division of Minerals and Geology <br />permitting process. <br />One building is currently on the site. This building currently serves as the office and scale house. <br />Wells and Septic <br />No well or septic/sewer permits aze necessary for the operation of the mine. Sanitary waste <br />disposal will be provided by a local portable toilet provider. Water for dust suppression will be <br />purchased from an outside source and transported to the mine area. <br />Access Approval <br />The request for acces,~ was submitted by the previous permit holder and granted with several <br />stipulations. Consolidated Constructors is prepazed to agree to and abide by those stipulations <br />with the request that the dates for completion be scheduled from the date of issuance of the <br />permit requested herein. <br />The noted stipulations contained in the pervious permit and are agreed to are stated below: <br />1 Construct or in our case finish the construction and stabilization of the driving <br />surface of 2.9 miles of road to the pit entrance. While much of the work was <br />completed in 2004, by Consolidated Constructors. We will complete the process <br />this yeaz. <br />After the crushing operation has begun and the proper materials are available, we <br />will install the final toping to the road surface with road base and gravel. <br />Stipulates that within 3 yeazs and with the cooperation of the County Road And <br />Bridge Department a widening of County Road 136 will take place, however it is <br />our belief that the work we did in 2004 was at the wider width. The work that we <br />do this yeaz will be at the same width as was done in 2004. <br />
