• EXHIBIT C - PREMINING AND MINING PLAN MAPS OF <br />AFFECTED LANDS <br />Exhibit C-1, Surface Ownership (with its index), illustrates surface ownership for the property controlled <br />by Rio Grande and for the property within 200 feet of the Rio Grande boundary. <br />GCC Rio Grande will be approaching the mining operation at the Red Rock Mine in two phases. The <br />first phase, which includes 895 acres of disturbed azea, will involve mining in blocks designated as years <br />1-35. GCC Rio Grande is requesting a permit authorizing mining activities only in the first phase at this <br />time. The second phase will involve mining years 36-50, but only after GCC Rio Grande has initiated <br />operations, assessed the feasibility of proceeding with the operation, and engaged in the full permit <br />amendment process including public participation and reclamation bonding revisions. <br />Exhibit C-I.S, Mining Phases I & II, illustrates the two phases of mining planned at the Red Rock Mine. <br />Phase I illustrates the azea for which GCC Rio Grande is currently seeking permit authorization. Exhibit <br />C-2, Premining and Mining Plan Map, illustrates the fallowing: <br />• Existing topography and names and locations of creeks, roads, railroads, and buildings. <br />• The location of the proposed road and railroad spur to access the plant site. <br />• The proposed plant site and fill area (for relocating excess excavated construction soils). <br />• The property and resource boundazies <br />• The proposed surface mine area and production sequence. <br />• The location of the proposed bridge to be constructed over the St. Chazles River. <br />• • The proposed permit boundary. <br />• Telephone lines RECEIV <br /> <br />• <br />Power lines Ep <br />• Fiber optic lines ~U~ 2 4 <br />• Stock fences <br />• Mainline railroad Division oI Minerals and Geolo <br /> <br />• <br />Access roads gy <br />• Stock ponds <br />• Stock tanks <br />The total azea within the proposed permit boundary is approximately 2,500 acres. The disturbed land <br />within this boundary totals approximately 895 acres, as summarized below: <br />Surface Mine (Phase I - 35 years) 642 acres <br />Plant (inc.
