RECElVEC7 <br />JUN 0 9 2003 <br />Division ~f Minerals and Geology <br />Mining of Area H should then proceed north to south, ultimately ending up at a <br />location north of the cove on the south end of the quarry. In the meantime, backfilling of <br />the cove on the south end should proceed as far as possible without interfering with the <br />south end of Area H. <br />As mining of Area H proceeds southward, the remaining material from the north <br />end of the layback can be excavated and anything not marketable simply dropped into the <br />mined out portions of Area H. Some continued work on the south end of the layback <br />(where work is currently occurring) could then proceed if the material is pushed <br />northward and deposited into the mined out portions of Area H. Otherwise, work on the <br />south part of the layback may need to be delayed until the mining of Area H is further <br />south and the layback material dropped into the over-excavation in Area H. This does <br />seem to be a continuing problem with the integration, but, at this point, no easy solution <br />to that interference is visible. <br />One possible solution is to continue excavation of the south end of the layback <br />while Area H is mined on the north end. The material that comes from the south end of <br />the layback could then be placed in the cove; thereby nearly finishing the cove by the <br />time the Area H excavation reaches the land below the south end of the layback. Then <br />once the Area H work moves south of the south end of the layback, that could be finished <br />by simply dropping the material from the layback into Area H behind the final excavation <br />of Area H which would occur on the south end. <br />
