<br />WATER CONTROL <br />There is some indication from the drilling that water <br />• will be encountered prior to the bottoming of the decline. <br />Yrhen this happens, it will be diverted to a sump where it <br />can be reused in the drilling, or if there is an excess, it <br />will be pumped to a surface pond where it will be evaporated. <br />At this point, an evaporation pond is being planned. An <br />approximate location is shown on the map in Exhibit C. <br />ORE DEPOSIT INFORMATION <br />Uranium and vanadium mineralization occur as roll type, <br />laminar, and solution front deposits within the third rim of <br />the Salt S•Iash Member of the I•;orrison Formation. <br />There are two horizons within the Third Rim Sandstone. <br />' The first lies approximately;l~the middle of the rim at a <br />• depth of 630-680 feet, Tlie;~.S~$ond is located near the base <br />of the third rim at a dep~h~ of '700-725 feet. <br />• ~>' <br />The thickness of the ore body averages approximately <br />3.75 feet. ; ,~' <br />The only~~ve~burden that will be removed will be from <br />the mine incline. The incline will portal in the lower half <br />of the Brushy Basin Member of the Morrison Formation which <br />is predominantly composed of mudstone and shale, with lesser <br />amounts of interbedded sandstone. <br />After traversing the Brushy Basin 1~lember, the incline <br />will cut the Third Rim Sandstone, which is the ore-bearing <br />host. <br /> <br />
