Some water will be used for the wash plant, however, this <br />water is recycled in a continuous loop. <br />Timetable and Size of Mining Areas <br />The mining operation is expected to last for 12 years, however, this could vary <br />depending upon market conditions. The approximate size of areas to be worked <br />at any one time correlates to the size of the mining Cells. Table 6.4.4-2 shows <br />the mining Cell size and the approximate timetable for working each Cell. <br />Table 6.4.4-2, Mining Timetable <br />MINING CELL APPROXIMATE AREA TO <br />BE WORKED AT ANY ONE <br />TIME [acres] APPROXIMATE <br />TIMETABLE <br />[years] <br />A 40 7-11 <br />B 23 4-6 <br />C 4 0.5-1 <br />TOTAL 66 12 <br />Nelson Mining Resource <br />Regular 112 Permit Application <br />
