Bob Oswald Re: PRELIMINARY Sunday Maps Page 2 of 5 The General Location Map shows the location of all five of the current permitted areas and the location of all vent holes. Rather than making five separate general location maps to cover each Permit, I include all five azeas on this one base map. I propose that we will submit five copies of this map so that one map will be in each Permit file. This map includes the GMG Mine, as you have recently stipulated that it now is an "Affected Area" that became IUSA's responsibility (in part) since we have utilized this site for a ventilation shaft. We will need to agree on how much of this site is now under our Permit. I am not sure if the GMG should be left on this General Location Map as it is now shown, as it is misleading as to what is actually included currently in IUSA's Permits. We surveyed everything at the site, but this does not imply that we have assumed responsibility for everything on this site. The Carnation, St. Jude, and Topaz sites have the polygon shapes shown for the "Affected Area" boundaries. These were taken from the old maps currently on file. As you know, the old maps now on file aze of marginal utility; therefore, we had to work with the locations of the polygons to get the best fit, but we did not change the size of any of the areas. Our surveyor was unable to locate any Affected Area boundary markers in the field for any of the mines; therefore, I have no reason to believe that markers have ever been established in the field in the past. Affected Area boundaries are not shown for the Sunday and West Sunday Permits. As you and I have corresponded, the Affected Areas for these two Permits need to be resolved. 2. SUNDAY MINE PERMIT M-1977-285, ROADS AND VENT HOLES, 1" = 200'. This map is intended to show the detail sites for each of the known vent holes. The fact that certain vent holes are shown should not imply that all these holes are included in the Permit, as I think that some of the really old vents in the Carnation and Sunday Mine area are "pre-Law". I would like to review this matter with you. Please note that I have included the three westernmost vent holes {labeled "WS-1, WS-2, and W2-3" respectively) as part of the Sunday Permit. I am unclear whether or not all vent holes were permitted as part of the Sunday Permit, or whether the three West Sunday vents are supposed to be under the West Sunday Permit. I would like to resolve this with you. If you determine the three West Sunday vents are under the West Sunday Mine Permit, then perhaps we should modify this map and correct the references to show that there are two Permits involved. In any case, I propose that we keep this map as part of the file records, as it is the only good way to show where the vents are located. As shown on this map, as well the others, there are many roads in the Sunday azea. Some of these aze clearly associated with specific sites and locations. Many of the roads are shown on the original topo base and likely existed long before the mines were formally permitted. This is another important matter I hope to resolve with you.
