According to our records, final <br />abandonment reports have been received for the drillholes proposed. <br />We request you consider the following so that we can both remove this program from our files: <br />(1) Submit a letter to the Division officially requesting bond release. <br />(2) Submit final abandonment reports for all holes drilled or update our files for holes <br />not drilled as part of the program. (A drillhole abandonment for iS enclosed.) <br />(3) Submit some form of final reclamation report. (A sample form is enclosed.) <br />(4) Arrange with the Division for an on-site inspection of the exploration. <br />Your assistance is appreciated.
