<br />EXHIBIT C - MINING PLAN <br />All proposed mining will be from underground workings <br />relative to the Hopemore Shaft. Current data from recently <br />conducted exploration indicates our mining will be conducted <br />below an elevation of 11,000 ft. and above an elevation of <br />10,650 ft. Both fissure vein type and bedded replacement <br />type ores will be mined. No surface subsidence is <br />anticipated. <br />The general configuration of ore bodies in the Breece <br />Hill Area as described in records of past production and <br />results of our own exploration indicate relatively small ore <br />bodies of three to twenty feet thick in most cases, which <br />frequently occur with strike lengths of up to 200 feet. <br />Production of ore is scheduled to begin in April, 1990 <br />and will continue for at least 12 years. Additional <br />exploration will be conducted concurrent with ore production <br />until the limits of economic production can be defined. <br />Some geophysical exploration from surface is planned, <br />possibly to be followed by core drilling from surface. Only <br />light truck-mounted equipment is necessary, and drill holes <br />will be plugged and site reclamation completed as soon as <br />practical after completion of drilling. If more than one <br />drill site is necessary, final reclamation of a prior drill <br />site will be completed before starting work from a future <br />site. <br />
