<br />iiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiii <br /> <br />Mining Plan and General Geology <br />Exhibit D <br />The deposit being mined is classified by the U.S.G.S, as belonging <br />to the Intermediate Quartz Monzonite Group of the Lower Eocene. The <br />deposits were intruded into the eight~egree, east dipping Fountain <br />sedimentory formation of the Pennsylvanion, The rock, where exposed, <br />has a columnar structure and is exceeding clean and hard. The colums <br />are tall, vertical, and impressive. Laboratory tests have confirmed this <br />rock for use as a concrete aggregate, <br />The deposit being mined is approximately 1000 feet east -west <br />• <br />and 500 feet north -south. South Saint Vrain Creek cuts through the <br />base of the deposit leaving the average height of the deposits at about <br />110 feet, This deposit yields approximately 1 ton per 12,5 cubic feet <br />of in place material, Both sides of the canyon through the deposit area <br />are extremely rugged with sheer near vertical rock walls, Many large <br />boulders up to desk size are found on the slopes and in the creek, <br />Scope of Operations <br />1, Developing Aggregate Deposit <br />Andesite Rock Company shall carefully clear overburden from the <br /> <br />deposit. The working face of the deposit shall be located and operated <br />so as not to detract from the usefulness of the deposit area or any <br />adjacent area. Stripping both frrnn prior mining and future operations <br />shall be removed, stock-piled, and re-utilized for restoration and <br />revegetation efforts. <br />
