<br /> <br />EXHIBIT I - SOILS IIIFORItATI01J <br />Exhaustive soil surveys have not been done on much of the land <br />in the IJravan Ilineral Belt, however some general information has been <br />taken from Soil Consevation Service maps developed through a combin- <br />ation of detailed soil surveys, reconnaissance soil surveys, and <br />and by interpretation. <br />T~vo major units, as described by the General Soil Pfap of the <br />Dolores River Basin, may be found in the region of the SIQ-19 Hine. <br />Unit /t3 is categorized as "rock outcrop and very shallow soils <br />of the canyons," while Unit 1J4 is "moderately dark-colored deep <br />• soils of the nesas and valleys." The table on the following page <br />describes each unit. <br />Bore specifically, the Ilontrose County General Soil 11ap locates <br />the mining property within the following units: <br />1) Haplargids-Torriorthents -Rock outcrop association: <br />warm, deep to shallow, well drained, gently sloping and <br />moderately steep soils and rock outcrop on mesas, benches <br />and canyons <br />2) Torriorthents-Rock outcrop association: warm, shallow, <br />well drained, sloping to steep sails and rock outcrop on <br />breaks and canyons <br />(It is important to note that that the above units describe <br />large general areas of land of which the S!1-19 property is a very <br />small part.) <br />At the actual portal site the soils are light-colored, varying <br />from a sandy loam to a loam of slightly higher clay content. <br /> <br />
