Colorado 80203 <br />Re: Battle Mountain Resources, Inc. - San Luis Project <br />DMG Permit No. M-88-112 <br />Detection of cyanide in RS-1 Sample on April O1, 1997 and RS- <br />2 sample on April 02, 1997. <br />Dear Mr. Dillie: ~'O <br />As stated in your recent letter, cyanide was reported in the ciuarterly <br />samples collected on April O1, 1997 from the RS-1 surface station and <br />the RS-2 surface station on April 02, 1997. Results showed levels of <br />0.061 ppm total cyanide from RS-1 and 0.020 ppm total cyanide from RS-2. <br />This letter is to assure you that we will continue to follow t:he surface <br />and groundwater collection protocol as outlined in TR-06. We ktave added <br />some additional items to our sampling protocol to help insure no <br />contamination occurs during our collection of samples. We will. only rise <br />new sample bottles to collect cyanide samples. Sangre De Cristo Labs has <br />agreed to furnish only new bottles for these samples. Process Point <br />samples, surface and groundwater samples will not be collected on the <br />same day. Separate pH probes, beakers and other sample collection <br />equipment will be used for process point samples to minimize the <br />opportunity for contamination. Finally, we do not ship surface or <br />groundwater samples with process point samples, they are sent to the lab <br />separately. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ <br />Ron Zumwalt <br />cc: Anne Baldrige <br />Dan Robertson <br />
