Also, is our check # 9496 in the amount of $225.00 to cover our annual <br />permit fee. <br />The following is a summary of our activity for the period November 04, 1992 through <br />November 03, 1993. <br />November 04, 1992 through January 11, 1993 -The Cross Mine Operation was closed <br />anti kept under afull-time closure care and maintenance program. <br />January 11, 1993 through January 17, 1993 - A safety training program and src~all mine <br />development program was established which employed 3 people full-time. Environmental <br />systems maintenance and construction work was also planned and implemented. <br />January 18, 1993 through September 30, 1993 - A small mine development program <br />on the tunnel level Apache vein completed 400' of new track drifting, 167' of cros~~-cut <br />drifting for establishing core drill stations, 140' of sub-level drifting on the north Apache <br />vein to prepare a block of ore for future production mining, and 100' of developm~;nt <br />raising on the north Apache vein in two locations and at the 1 left core station vent. <br />The above described underground development work produced +1,647 tons of mill grade <br />or better gold ore, +1,169 tons of low grade mill ore and +446 tons of quartz monzonite <br />waste rock. Without a mill available to ship this ore to, the entire tonnage was neatly <br />stacked on top of our existing dump area. Careful consideration was given to the !storage <br />of this ore until a fully permitted and environmentally sound milling situation devellops. <br />The company also continued construction work on its water discharge systems. New <br />sediment traps were constructed underground and lined with 3M Oil Sorbent Wrags. <br />Concrete grouting work was completed at the inflow and out-flow of both rubber lined <br />sediment ponds. A new 220' 8" PVC pipe line was installed between pond #1 and pond #2 <br />on wooden trestles. The wooden trestles were hand painted with environmentally <br />matching paint. Our old zeolite filtration system was removed. A new proto-type zeolite <br />filtration system was installed and tested in October and November. Additional zeolite <br />filtration steel boxes are currently under construction and will be added to the system in <br />January 1994. A new 400' 8" PVC pipe line was installed underground at the Cro:,s Mine <br />to help manage elevated Spring run-off flows through our water discharge system <br />The company also constructed a new 8" PVC pipe system and zeolite column :zeolite <br />filtration system at the neighboring Caribou Silver Mine. This mine remained closed during <br />the entire year due to low silver prices. <br />Malfing Address: Post Office Box 653-Caribou • Nederland.
