Mount <br /> Senior Environmental Protection Specialist <br /> Division of Minerals and Geology <br /> Department of Natural Resources <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br /> Denver, Colorado 80203 <br /> RE: Mining & Minerals, Ltd. <br /> (Permit No. M-83-052) <br /> Dear Mr . Mount : <br /> As we have discussed, I am forwarding to you the enclosed <br /> affidavit of Michael J. Collins, President of Mining & Minerals, <br /> Inc . , a Texas corporation which is the general partner of Mining & <br /> Minerals, Ltd. , a Texas limited partnership, which holds the permit <br /> referenced above . <br /> As this affidavit explains, we have obtained information that <br /> another group of people identified in this affidavit have formed <br /> companies with very similar names . We have heard rumors that they <br /> intend to take some action to release the bond that has been posted <br /> for this permit . Of course, we are aware that existing statutes <br /> and regulations would require notice and hearing and the completion <br /> of reclamation before any such bond release could be considered by <br /> you or your staff . We do not mean to suggest by informing you of <br /> this situation that we expect any of the individuals representing <br /> these new companies to be successful in any effort to represent my <br /> clients and our interests in the relevant reclamation permit or in <br /> any other matters in dealing with your staff and the Mined Land <br /> Reclamation Board. <br /> We wish only to alert you and your staff as to this situation <br /> and to request that if any of the individuals named in paragraph 3 <br /> of the attached affidavit should contact you or anyone in your <br /> office concerning our permit or our mining claims, you will inform <br /> me, Mr. Collins, the President of the permittee, or Mr. Zimmerman <br /> who is our local representative in Craig. The addresses and <br /> telephone numbers for Mr. Collins and Mr. Zimmerman are listed in <br /> paragraph 6 of the attached affidavit . <br />
