<br />EXHIBIT B - MINING PLAN <br />St. Jude Mine - Pioneer Uravan, Inc. <br />January 20, 1978 <br />Ore will be mined underground by modified roan and pillar methods <br />used by most underground uranium and vanadium mining operators in Western <br />Colorado and Eastern Utah. The rock will be broken into manageable sized <br />pieces, loaded into diesel underground trucks, trucked to the surface, and <br />transferred into larger trucks to be hauled to the mill. Whenever possible, <br />all barren rock will be left underground and used as backfill. <br />Approximately 1,200 feet of existing drill road will be improved to <br />allow access to this mine (see exhibit C-2 for details). Total area disturbed <br />at this site is 9.75 acres including the 1,200 feet of access road. Vent <br />holes are not expected to be needed at this mine. <br />Mining operations will cease when all existing ore is mined estimating <br />15 years, at which time reclamation will be initiated. <br />
