Box 2428 Acting Division Director <br />Dillon, CO 80435 <br />RE: Colorado Mining/Smelting, Inc.; Stinson Patch (File No. M-1990-040) <br />Notice of Mined Land Reclamation Board Hearing <br />Dear Mr. Schuler, <br />A permit was never issued to Colorado Mining/Smelting, Inc. for the Stinson Patch Mine, File No. <br />M-1990-040, because the performance warranty and the financial warranty in the amount of <br />$5,000.00 were never submitted to the Division. Rule 4.1(2) of the Hard Rock Metal Mining Rules <br />and Regulations states that if the Performance and/or Financial Warranties are not received within <br />one calendar year of approval for any new permit, the Board shall hold a hearing to reconsider the <br />previous approval. The Division recommended approval of the Stinson Patch Mine on May 15, <br />1990. In the case of this application, the awaiting warranties have been pending for 12 years. <br />The Division will set the matter for the Mined Land Reclamation Board ("NLRB") on September <br />18-19, 2002 beginning at 10:00 a.m. on the 18`a and 9:00 a.m. on the 19"' in Room 318, 1313 <br />Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado. The Board will reconsider its previous approval of the <br />application. The operator will have the opportunity to be represented and heard on this matter. <br />If the operator provides the Division with a letter withdrawing the application from consideration, <br />then a hearing before the NLRB can be avoided. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to <br />call me at 303-866-4943. <br />Si~~ e//~~ly~rj/ <br />3,wu J, l/~ <br />Erica S.
