SUNLAND MINING CORPORATION <br />SUBSIDENCE CONTROL PLAN <br />MINEABLE COAL BEDS <br />Sunland Mining Corporation's mining plan calls for the mining of <br />3 seams by underground mining methods under its federal lease properties <br />in Routt County, Colorado. Exhibit 7 is an electric log which shows the <br />3 seams to be mined. The electric log is from Drill Bole SL-22, the location <br />of which is Sn the northeast corner of the leased area and is shown on Map <br />Exhibit II. Exhibit II also shows the areas for each of the 3 seams where <br />underground mining is planned. The mining areas are divided by faults which <br />complicate the mining of the coal reserves. The fault blocks are also shown <br />on the map. <br />The uppermost seam to be mined, named the Upper Bench of Zone 3, <br />' will be mined in fault block 3 only. It ranges in depth from outcropping <br />in the southeastern part of the leased area to a depth of approximately 265 <br />feet in the northwestern corner. Minimum cover at the projected recovery <br />line near the outcrop is about 80 feet. The thickness to be mined ranges <br />from 48 inches to approximately 84 inches. <br />Approximately 200 feet below the zone 3 upper bed is the Upper Pinnacle <br />seam, also to be mined only in fault block 3. The thickness of this bed in. <br />tiie planned mining area ranges from 48 inches to approximately 52 inches. <br />Another 40 feet below the Upper Pinnacle lies the Lower Pinnacle seam, <br />Cthe third seam to be mined, The Lower Pinnacle is the seam which has been <br />mined in the past on this property. The area [hat has been mined out is shown <br />on lfap Exhibit II. Ii is planned to mine tlic T.owcr Pinnacle primarily in <br />fault blocks 2 and 3 and a minimal amount in fault block 1: Tl~e thickness of <br />the coal bed in the area where mining is planned, ranges frum 48 incTies to <br />approximately 60 inches. The lowest elevation to he reached in the mining <br />of the 3 seams is approximately 7150 feet in the Lower Pinnacle scam. <br /> <br />r9s <br />D. H. EMLING COMPANY <br />
