This map also shows <br />the haul road. As you can see this is rugged range land with <br />the contour of the area being shown that the pit is located on a <br />hill between two draws with the slope of the north side sloping ~~ <br />northwest and the slope of the south sloping southeast. ~~ <br />We plan that xhen the mining is completely done in this <br />area to have appmximently 40 acres of flat ground xith the <br />slope being the same as before but not as severe.
