EXHIBIT D--MINING PLAN <br /> Mining will commence early in the year 2001 as soon as permits are in hand. The <br /> proposed operation's purpose is to establish a gravel pit for Fremont County road <br /> maintenance in the surrounding area in western Fremont County. The reserve consists of <br /> decomposed granite under lied by granite bedrock. At full capacity, the mine is expected <br /> to produce 30,000 tons/year of gravel. The life of mine is expected to be 10-years. The <br /> plan for the decomposed granite is to direct haul the material from the pit to the roads. In <br /> the event that the decomposed granite deposit is exhausted,the bedrock will be utilized <br /> by way of drilling and blasting. Contract crushing and screening will then be used as <br /> needed. Product stockpiles will be located along the eastern boundary of the proposed <br /> permit area. <br /> Portions of the site contain 2 to 8 feet of soil, which will be stockpiled along the <br /> northeast boundary, prior to mining, far future reclamation purposes. Any slopes created <br /> in the mine area will be graded to no steeper than 3:1,HN and stabilized via contour <br /> riling to minimize erosion of newly exposed material. After mining, the floor and slopes <br /> of the disturbed area will be seeded with a native mixture of grasses and shrubs. <br /> Mine equipment will consist of a bulldozer and front-end loader for removal and <br /> stockpiling of the gravel, and haul trucks for transportation of the material. Due to the <br /> simplicity of the mining operation, no permanent structures are planned, nor are any <br /> utilities or service facilities needed <br /> 4 <br />
