Box 2187 <br />Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 <br />303~482~7854 <br />5344583 Metro <br />Fax 303-224-5564 <br />Three Hells Pit: <br />Much the same as the Challenger Pit, demand for <br />material at this site has not been sufficient to <br />warrant continuous mining operations. Sales of the over <br />100,000 tons of inventory is continuing. Nearly 25,000 <br />tons were sold from this location in 1989 and sales are <br />continuing in 1990. <br />Industrial and residential growth are proceeding towarrl <br />this location. It is believed that mining operations <br />will resume before or closely following inventory <br />depletion as a result of this growth. In the event that <br />inventories become totally depleted and there is not <br />sufficient demand to resume mining operations, this pit <br />would then qualify for temporary cessation or amenrhnent <br />to the permit allowing intermittent operation. <br />We hope this information clarifies the inactivity as <br />indicated by the annual report on this location. <br />We regret any inconvenience this may have caused you. <br />Should you have any questions, please contact us for <br />further information or clarification regarding this <br />matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />iii iiiiiiiiniu iii ~ <br />999 <br />Michael D.
