<br />' Boulder County Land Use Department <br />Mazch 23. 1992 <br />Page 7 <br />With this letter Mr. Steen enclosed a Gold Hill Ventures <br />' application for amendment to MLRB permit for the Who Do. White <br />Cloud and Wynona mines, the proposed mill site and tailings ponds <br />impoundment area. <br />' On January 28, 1992, Robert Helmick, Planning Manager and <br />Zoning Administrator. Operational/Zoning Department of Boulder <br />County Land Use Department, wrote to Gwen Fraser (COM, Inc.) and <br />Mark Steen (Gold Hill Ventures). In that letter Mr. Helmick <br />referenced ores being processed at the Gold Hill Mill under <br />' ownership of COM, Inc. produced from properties which "have been <br />and are proposed to be milled at this site". <br />The reference then appears to be to permit of November 12. <br />' 1985 issued to Gold Hill Ventures as a remodeling permit for a <br />"milling accessory". It is to this permit the reference "this is not a <br />custom mill and is only for the mining conducted on this property" <br />' relates. <br />We do not seek to be hypertechnical. Our principal obJective is <br />' to operate this facility in which Fraser has a very large fmanciai <br />investment, albeit unanticipated and really unintended, profitably in <br />conformance with all legitimate concerns of Boulder County (Land Use <br />' Department) and the state of Colorado (MLRB). We fully appreciate <br />the requirement we operate the Mill within the clear limits of <br />permitted use. <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />We have not attempted to avoid the strictures with respect to <br />custom milling. Through necessity we have been limited to <br />acquisition of ores from properties under our own ownership and <br />other established sources (Hendricks) through which we can cause <br />the Mill to function. The alternative to mill ores from sources <br />proximate to the Mill site is otherwise denied us by the disposition of <br />Mi Vida to not deliver ores for processing as was their expressed <br />intent in the beginning. <br />To make all this work, COM, Inc. concluded a priority milling <br />agreement with Mi Vida in which COM, Inc. agreed to mill all ores <br />produced on Gold Hill properties owned or controlled by Mi Vida <br />(Steens) as delivered. A copy of this priority milling agreement is <br />attached for your information as Exhibit A. <br />1 <br />
