Bob Hill, agent for DGMC, made preliminary <br />inquiry to your department concerning operations at the Incas Mine and was informed <br />that any mineral extraction activity would require application and processing of a Class <br />II Land Use Permit. Such response was understandable without the benefit of <br />additional information concerning the established mining activities, which information <br />we will attempt hereby to share and make available to you. <br />As you may know, the California Mining District was established approximately <br />100 years ago based upon the location of valuable minerals and the consequent <br />mineral exploration and extraction activities in this 12 mile x 12 mile district. The <br />Incas Mine has been one of the heaviest producers of valuable minerals in the District <br />since it's discovery in 1909. Tens of thousands of ounces of gold have been <br />produced from the mine over time. Within the California Mining District, more than <br />95 mines and properties are located and more than 400 mining claims in the District <br />have resulted in the issuance of patents actually transferring legal title from the <br />government to the holders of the mining claims. <br />~~_ ~ <br />U=-~= <br />TELEPHONE <br />(303) 259-2680 <br /> FACSIMILE: <br /> (303) 259-635d <br />th~ <br />~~~ 3..n ~~~ ~® <br />The Incas Mine is the subject of an active and current "LIMITED IMPACT <br />PERMIT (1 101" issued by the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, Division of <br />
