<br />• EXHIBIT D <br />MINING PLAN <br />As is represented on the Mining Plan Map (Exhibit C) <br />initial efforts in the Vagneur Pit will include the <br />improvement of the existing access road (shown in red), <br />construction of a 10' earthen berm along this existing <br />access road, and the construction of haul roads to be <br />used throughout this phase of the operation. <br />The existing access road will be widened to a consistent <br />width of 26', plated with roadbase and paved. <br />• The 10' tall berm east of this access road (effectively a <br />stockpile) will be constructed of the topsoil stripped <br />from areas of the mine to be affected by operation, then <br />stabilized, and planted with an appropriate seed mixture. <br />Excavation of aggregate to be crushed and other operations <br />will then begin. Slopes of the excavation will not exceed <br />2:1. <br />Annual production rates are expected to be in the vicinity <br />of 170,000 TN, so over the course of our 5 year Pitkin <br />County permit, total production should be approximately <br />850,000 TN. <br />~~ <br />
