Colowyo believes the description of the premining <br />environmental resources within the initial mine plan and adjacent <br />areas, still remains valid for successive permit terms and not <br />subject to additional review and revision. <br />Twelve years of mining and reclamation success at Colowyo provides <br />confirmation that the initial environmental resources information <br />was essentially correct and we believe the information contained <br />herein for the additional mining areas reflects a similar high <br />degree of accuracy and reliability. _~ <br />2.04-1 <br />
