I am processing the bond at this time <br />and will drop it by next week. The bond will be in place prior <br />to drilling. As such, (WFC) proposes to drill from one to three <br />holes approximately 565 ft., 480 ft., and 570 ft. deep <br />respectively, offset and in advance of both first right and <br />second right development sections. The location of the proposed <br />holes are shown on the attached map and are from 100 ft. to 400 <br />ft. off of an existing well-travelled dirt trail. Road work is <br />planned and expected to be minimal. Level drill pads will not <br />exceed an area of about 100 ft. by 75 ft. Topsoil will be will <br />be scrapped to one side and backhoe pits will be dug at one end <br />to contain cuttings and fluids generating as a result of <br />drilling. The addition of these holes amended to the existing <br />proposed G. E. Drilling Application will not change the size nor <br />impact of the program. The additional holes are in the same area <br />covered by the exploration plan and the added footage and <br />reclamation costs will replace one or two drill and core holes <br />from the original plan. <br />The timing and scheduling of this emergency drilling will <br />proceed immediately. Work will probably commence on or about the <br />11th or 12th of February and be followed by four to five days of <br />continuous or intermittent operation. Reclamation of any <br />disturbed surfaces as a result of this drilling will occur no <br />later than the beginning of the proposed exploration plan <br />currently under application to CMLRD at this time. <br /> <br />
