Roads <br />constructed as a result of the mining operation will be <br />reclaimed the same as other disturbed areas. <br />b. The reclamation tests are on a "by area" basis and apply to <br />each area. <br />if each area were to be mined as a separate entity and <br />bonded separately, the cost to reclaim ,could 6e <br />approximately. <br />Area 1 311,900 <br />Area 2 5,100 <br />Area 3 ?2,100 <br />Area 4 5,500 <br />These costs are worst case costs.
