TECHNOLOGIES <br />A DIVISION OF TETRA TECH MC. <br />September 27, 2005 <br />Mr. Jim Stark <br />Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver. CO 80203 <br />Subject: Collom Permit Area <br />Coal Analysis Protocol <br />(Maxim Project Number 55200ti8) <br />Dear Mr. Stark, <br />6178 South Stratler Street <br />Murray, UT 84107 <br />Of'fce 801.269.8117 <br />Fax 801.269.8308 <br />At the request of Tay Tonozzi of Colowyo Coal Company (Colowyo), I am writing to request your <br />concurrence with Colowyo's plans for analysis of coal core samples collected from the Collom, Lower <br />Wilson and South Taylor project areas. Colowyo is proposing to analyze the coal samples for total sulfur <br />and organic sulfur forms and not for pyrite and marcasite. The spacing of core holes for these analyses <br />will be one hole per square mile, with a minimum of three holes per project area. <br />This proposal is based on a request made by Colowyo during a conference call on March 2, 2005 between <br />Byron Walker of your office and Crellin Scott, Tay Tonozzi, and Alex Papp of Colowyo. Byron Walker <br />subsequently gave verbal approval of the request in a March 3, 2005 conversation with Crellin Scott. The <br />issue discussed in the March 2 and 3 calls was the chemical constituents that need to be analyzed for each <br />coal seam in the proposed mining areas of Collom and Lower Wilson. By this letter, we are extending the <br />request to include the South Taylor area. The similarity of physical conditions in the three proposed <br />mining areas warrants similar treatment, and similar treatment also will avoid possible confusion in <br />handling of the coal core samples. <br />If you have any questions regarding this transmittal, please feel free to contact me at (970) 304-0140 or <br />(307) 259-7824 or Tay Tonozzi at (970) 824-1579. I would request that any written response to this letter <br />be directed [o Tay. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Maxim Technologies <br />A DIVISION OF TETRA TECH, INC. <br />1~~~. 6~ <br />Keith Thompson <br />Project Manger <br />Cc: Tay Tonozzi <br />
