EXHIBIT E- RECLAMATION PLAN <br />As mining begins from the North East corner of Toltec No. 2 as <br />shown on the survey platt #5544, a bench will be cut from the <br />rock face to provide a working area for surface mining, Assays <br />of the outcrop indicate the total area of the outcrop is mineral- <br />ized to a value that would be profitable to mine, therefore there <br />will be no waste rock or overburden. There will be little or <br />no reclaimable area for a minimum of 50 (fifty) feet, where the vein <br />dips beneath a Quartz cap which shows some mineralization, with <br />2 to 4 inches of topsoil which has washed onto it by snow melt. <br />This area is approximately 200 feet wide beyond which the Quartz <br />cap and barren rock covers the surface. <br />Surface mining by blocks of 20 to 30 feet at a time should limit <br />disturbance of the area. As mining progresses to any soil or ~,.iN <br />vegetation disturbance, the soil will be removed and stored for <br />replacement in areas where removed. The replacement o soil, <br />and replanting will be done as a new section of the ore body is <br />mined as to minimize the effect on the little areas of vegetation, <br />~ and promote faster regrowth of reseeded plants, Mined areas will <br />,r'., be g~ded as to limit erosion and promote water retention in the <br />~"~~ ~ available soil. Reseeding of those kinds of native vegetation as <br />mentioned in the U.S. Soil conservation survey (Exhibit-D) in like <br />density of ground cover will be done as Commercial seed is _. r. <br />available. If a like specie is not available, a similar proven ~ -- ' <br />type of seed will be used, / ~ G" <br />Upon completion of the surface mining a portal will be cut into the <br />rock where no further disturbance of the area will be done except <br />for roads for working to the mine portal. Storage of mined ore will <br />be on the Quartz outcrop as not to damage other vegetation. _ <br />The portal area and road to the portal would be reclaimed in a% <br />like manner as described above, --! <br />I would like to leave exsisting roads on my patented property, open <br />as they are used by many people for Jeeping or Bike riding, Hiking, <br />and other recreation purposes, <br />In conclusion, I would also like to state that I was raised in the <br />Floral and Greenhouse business and have a good appreciation of the <br />natural beauty of the area. I am also a Hunter, Fisherman and Conser- <br />vation beliver, so I want to pass down this property in better <br />condition than I found it to my children. <br /> > <br /> ~,,, <br />O.27 <br />.U < . <br />l . <br /> <br />~; .... <br />i /' ,. .~ <br />j r.;. n~^ <br />i <br />am' ` <br /> <br />c <br />;r,,1 <br />' ('~' ` <br />, <br />
