<br /> <br />ore was produced, but the drifts were barred down and <br />cleaned up so that a technical evaluation could be made of <br />the ore body. Underground radiometric probing, mapping and <br />feasibility study was done to see if mining was warranted. <br />Status of Mine <br />The mine at this time is being checked on a routine basis. <br />Any maintenance work noted is then scheduled as needed to <br />keep the mine in a ready state. This mine is in the Salt <br />Wash Formation. <br />Minina Plan <br />The mine will be operated as an intermittent operation until <br />such time as the market does improve. At that time the mine <br />will be placed into production. Activities similar to those <br />which have occurred will continue to take place until this <br />time. Surface and underground work will continue to help <br />improve the ore reserves and the long range mining plans. <br />UMETCO proposes to continue its operation of the Burros Mine <br />until such ore reserves have been mined. At that time the <br />permitted reclamation plan will be implemented. <br />Umetco Minerals hereby request a technical revision to place <br />the Burros Mine Permit no. M-77-297, in an intermittently <br />active status as defined by rule 1.6.2(2)(d). This <br />classification will best describe the current mode of <br />operation. <br />If there is any questions, please call. <br />Sincerely, <br />2e.'~°~.--~ . <br />Randy E.
