AFFIDAVTI' OF GLYNDA YODER
I, Glynda Yoder, submit the following sworn statement in connection with the appeal of
Permit Number M-99-074 issued by the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology:
1. I am the President of Precious Offerings Mineral Exchange, Inc., the Applicant
identified in Permit Number M-99-074. I am personally familiaz with all of the following facts.
2. Precious Offerings owns the Brown Derby #4 and Brown Derby #5 unpatented
lode mining claims. The Brown Derby #4 claim covers the Brown Derby Mine, which was
operated during World War II under authority of the War Production Board.
3. I am informed and therefore believe that owners of the Brown Derby Mine have
used Brown Derby Mine Access Road for access to the mine since this road was constructed by
the United States government with federal funds in 1944.
4. Mr. John Reardon, Precious Offerings' immediate predecessor in interest to the
Brown Derby claims, was using Brown Derby Mine Access Road in 1997. After Precious
Offerings acquired the claims from Mr. Reardon in June 1998, Mr. McLain requested that
Precious Offerings demonstrate its right to use Brown Derby Mine Access Road. In August
1998, Precious Offerings presented Mr. McLain with information demonstrating that Brown
Derby Mine Access Road was constructed with public funds by the United States Forest Service
following certification of construction by the War Production Boazd, in accordance with the
Defense Highway Ac[ of 1941. Mr. McLain acquiesced and did not prohibit Precious Offerings
from using the road after the August 1998 presentation.
5. Precious Offerings sent its Reclamation Penrnit Application for processing by the
Division of Minerals and Geology on September 17, 1999.
