• • f IIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII <br />999 <br />~~ <br />EXHIBIT B - MINING PLAN <br />Hawkeye Mine - Pioneer Uravan, Inc. <br />October 2, 1978 <br />Ore will be mined underground by modified room and pillar methods <br />used by most underground uranium and vanadium mining operators in <br />Western Colorado and Eastern Utah. The rock will be broken into <br />manageable sized pieces, loaded into diesel underground trucks, <br />trucked to the surface, and transferred into larger trucks to be haul- <br />ed to the mill. Whenever possible, all barren rock will be left under- <br />ground and used as backfill. <br />Total area disturbed at this site is 9.7 acres. Vent holes are <br />not expected to be needed at this mine. <br />Mining operations will cease when all existing ore is mined <br />estimating 25 years, at which time reclamation will be initiated. <br />
