The OSM representatives and I indicated that we would meet in the very <br />near future, i.e., Monday or Tuesday of the next week, to come to some <br />conclusions and make a determination as to when the fire did begin, <br />7. In the meantime, I asked Li Chen to estimate the rough cost of the <br />remaining work necessary to finally extinguish the fire. Initial indications <br />are on the order of $100,000.00. This amount would cover additional <br />drilling to the west of the apparent location of the fire, down-hole temperature <br />probes and excavation of an area approximately 50' wide by 70' long to the <br />bottom of the burning coal seam. The depth of the bottom of that seam is <br />approximately 90' below the ground surface. <br />/mt <br />
