<br />RECEIVED <br />OCT 17 2002 <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />DELTA COUNTY <br />ANTELOPE HILL PIT <br />2001 ANNUAL REPORT <br />Submitted 10/2002 <br />Permit No. M - 1978 -172 <br />No mining occurred in 2001. Some slope maintenance and reclamation was completed at the <br />north end of the east pit. The gravel deposit is becoming uneconomical to mine toward the north as the <br />overburden thickness increases and the gravel thickness increases. There may be some pit run removed <br />from this area in 2002. The County is preparing to move the active mining to the western "finger" ridge of <br />[he pit and initial work would be site improvement and overburden removal in preparation for gravel <br />mining in 2003. <br />Antelope Hill Pit is one of several operated by Delta County and is mined as needed for county <br />projects or gravel reserves. Delta County crushes and processes the gravel in each of its pits with a <br />portable crashing plant. <br />
