~.. <br /> <br />ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2000 <br />MINING PERMIT NO.: M-93-030 <br />As of IJanuary 2001, all impact areas are as indicated on the accompanying updated <br />"Affected Lands Map" (ALM). All excavations have been backfilled, contour graded, <br />and seeded as required, except for areas 2 and 5 in mining parcel No. 3 as shown on the <br />(ALM). These two pits will excavated to a deeper level and the areas will not be <br />increased unless values discovered require more area to recover them. <br />Activity in the permitted areas during the mining season of 2000 was limited to smaller <br />exploratory excavation. As a result of the examination and study of the aeeas by a <br />professional geologist some cross-cut trenches and pot-holes were dug to determine the <br />contents of the subsurface geology at selected sites. Some additional information was <br />gained regarding trends, leads, and geologic traits that are existing. Availability of heavy <br />equipment did not allow excavation at many other sites, which need examination at <br />deeper levels below any surface overburden. It is planned to conduct more exploration <br />during the oncoming 2001 season. All of the above-mentioned exploratory excavations <br />were backfilled, contour graded and seeded immediately after each opening was <br />examined and recorded. Any sites showing evidence to encourage further mining will <br />probably be re-opened and mined some time in the future. It is hoped that work in the <br />areas in 2001 will be productive and net enough profit so operations can be continued. <br />The above noted statements consist of all that I am aware of at this time. I will, of course, <br />submit a revised ALM as soon as information is available. Please contact me if you have <br />any questions. <br />The "Operators" Plan of Operations with the U. S. Forest Service (USFS) will terminate <br />4/15/2001 and the Operator is in the process of submitting application to the U.S.F.S. to <br />obtain renewal or extension of the plan for another ten (10) years. The Operator does not <br />expect any significant problems or complications in the process. However, with all of the <br />may new regulations the Operator may experience a delay in starting operations. <br />If there are any questions or needed additional information you may need, please contact <br />the Owner/Operator at the address or telephone number shown on the accompanying <br />data. <br />Sincerely, __ <br />~ ~, ~,,~ 3~a~ jaoa~ <br />John O.
