<br /> <br />Generally we believe the mine will progress according to the following time table: <br />Phase 1 5 years <br />Phase 2 3 years <br />Phase 3 5 years <br />Phase 4 5 years <br />Final Reclamation 2 yeazs <br />Total Operation 20 years <br />During this 20 yeaz period, the processing plant will operate. The processing area contains the <br />crushing and screening equipment for the raw material. Some of the material will be washed for <br />use in the on-site concrete plant. An on-site asphalt plant will also use some material. Recycling <br />is becoming an accepted method of operation in the industry. Therefore, we will have a plant <br />here to reprocess concrete and asphalt. Some special aggregate products may be imported to the <br />site for sale and use in the concrete and asphalt. <br />The following equipment and facilities will be utilized in this operation: <br />Loaders (3) Bottled Water Scraper (1) Aggregate Wash Plant (1) <br />Feeders (3) Fuel Truck (1) Fuel Tank (1) Electric Control Van (1) <br />Screens (2) Mechanic Truck (1) Staking Conveyor (3) Asphalt Batch Plant (1) <br />Generators (2) Portable Toilets (3) Dozer (1) Concrete Batch Plant (1) <br />Crushers (2) Scale (1) Road Grader (1) Ready Mix Concrete Trucks <br />Conveyors (4) Haul Trucks (4) Shop Building (1) Office Trailer (1) <br />Excavator (1) <br />In order to gain an understanding of the extent of the mining operation, it is helpful to know the <br />acres disturbed by different aspects of the mine. We have selected a point in time where the <br />mining disturbance could be at its maximum. This occurs during the mining of the southern end <br />of Phase 1. Here the dewatering ditch will be at its maximum length along with roads to the <br />processing area. There will be shoreline under reclamation at the north end. The following acres <br />of disturbance apply at this time: <br />Stripped overburden and topsoil in anticipation of mining 3 Acres <br />Active mining area 6 Acres <br />Topsoil and overburden stockpiles 2 Acre <br />Dewatering trench 1 Acre <br />Roads 1 Acre <br />Aggregate processing plant 19 Acres <br />Settling pond 4 Acres <br />Lakeshore final graded with topsoil 2 Acres <br />Lakeshore seeded 2 Acres <br />Total Disturbed Area 40 Acres <br />There is an overhead powerline which transects the property south to north. Access to each of <br />the towers will be provided. <br />D-2 <br />
