York-Feirn <br />Mined Land Reclamation Division <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Dear Mr. York-Feirn, <br />RECEIVES <br />MAR 2 5 1992 <br />Mined Land <br />Reclamation n",:~r~~ <br />March 25, 1992 <br />Attached to this letter are copies of the analysis reports obtained from Skyline Labs of <br />the sample of the concentrates that Mr. Tatman placed on the ground near the Gold Hill Mill. <br />These are the same concentrates that I believe Mr. Tatman and a COM, Inc. employee <br />were processing in the mill's concentrate thickener tank and disc filter circuit in July, 1991. I <br />have been informed that these concentrates were trucked to the Cominco Metals smelter in <br />Trail, British Columbia, by Keeter Trucking. These concentrates were rejected by the smelter <br />for having too high a moisture content. Upon their being brought back from Canada by Keeter <br />Trucking, these concentrates were placed on the ground in a berm constructed out of low grade <br />fines from the Cash mine for the purpose of drying them outside. <br />In Mr. Tatman's December 17, 1991 response letter, he stated that these concentrates <br />had been scraped up and placed in the tailings pond. In fact, they had not been touched as late <br />as the first week in February, 1992. The physical evidence in February of this year indicated <br />to me that these concentrates (and a good portion of Gold Hill Ventures' ore) were placed in <br />the coarse ore bin. The enclosed photographs were taken on January 5, and in early February <br />of this year. The area around where these concentrates were dried has not yet been cleaned <br />up, and a good deal of plastic trash and other debris are still on the ground. <br />I hope that you can prevail upon Mr. Tatman and COM, Inc. to have this mess cleaned <br />up. <br />Very truly yours, <br /> <br />Mark A.
