<br />• <br />INTRODUCTION <br />The ore deposit discussed in this report was discovered in 1949 <br />by Mr. Fred Schwartzwalder. Mr. Schwartzwalder mined the site alone <br />for several years before selling his lease to the Denver-Golden Oil <br />and Uranium Company. The new leaseholders operated the mine until <br />1965, then in 1966, the Cotter Corporation purchased the lease and <br />began its operation of the mine. <br />Several areas of affected land at the mine site are the result <br />of the activities of the previous operators. Specifically, old ware- <br />house and equipment maintenance buildings, ore loadout chutes, and adits <br />were constructed by the previous operators. Referring to Exhibit B, <br />the site access road ]ea ding from Golden (Pine Ridge Road) was construct- <br />ed prior to the time when Cotter purchased the mine. Also, at the present <br />time, several agencies or organizations also use this road. For these <br />reasons, this segment of the site access road was not included in Exhibit <br />A, Legal Description of Affected Land. <br />The text of this submittal is organized according to the• information <br />requirements specified in the Rules and Regulations of the Mined Land <br />Reclamation Board, dated May, 1977. Additional data pertinent to the <br />report have been included as appropriately labelled appendices at the <br />back of the report. <br />r 1 <br />U <br />
