The Financial War- <br />ranty for this operation is $242,205.00 and the permitted area is <br />689.01 ac. ± and the pit is divided into 19 Reclamation Phases. <br />The bond was reevaluated in October 2004 and the amount of <br />disturbance has been reduced as reclamation and sloping continues <br />on Stage 2. Reclamation is progressing as approved in the <br />permit. <br />As required in Rule 6.7 the mine permit sign has been <br />installed at the entrance to the pit and the boundary has been <br />outlined with red toped posts to delineate the affected lands. <br />Please refer to the attached map for location of the areas <br />discussed in this report. This map does not show the entire <br />permit area, only the area south of the river affected by the <br />operation at this time. We will deal specifically with each of <br />the Annual Report requirements as outlined in Rule 1.15 of the <br />Rules and Regulations. <br />(1) Mining continued in Stage 2 - PART A, Stage 2 - PART B and <br />Stage F covering 12.86 acres ±.

Approximately 3.18 acres was stripped and par- <br />tially mine along the west side in Stage 2 - PART A (\\\). <br />The red line on Stage F is the approximate location of the <br />working face in that area. The arrows show the direction of <br />mining for next year. Additional stripping will be done <br />
