3.7 Test Mine Facility <br />American Soda's Test Mine Facility is located on the eastern edge of the 0 - 5 <br />year mining panel, and was constructed in 1997 as a prospecting operation to <br />both explore and better define the quality and quantity of the nahcolite mineral <br />resource and to refine the vertical cavity solution mining method currently in use <br />in commercial operation. The Test Mine Facility was constructed on one large <br />pad, which measures approximately 13 acres in size. <br />3.8 Additional Disturbance Planned for 2002 - 2003 <br />As many as eight new solution mining we-Is may be drilled during the 2002 - <br />2003 reporting period. These wells will be placed on existing well pads and the <br />current well field piping is in place to service these wells so no surface <br />disturbance is anticipated. There are no other activities planned for the 2002 - <br />2003 reporting period that will create any additional disturbance. <br />American Soda. L.L.P. 5 <br />
