JAN 1 2 2004 Re: Battle Mountain Resources Inc. San Luis Project CMLRB Permit No. M-88-112 December 2003 Monthly Report Dear Mr. Dillie: Division of Minerale an:' ~ . The following summarizes monitoring and site activities at the Battle Mountain Resources Ina (BMRI), San Luis Project for the month of December 2003. Surface and ground water monitoring and analysis were completed for all required sites during the month per the terms and conditions of the TR-32 Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) plan. Vacuum on the tailing lysimeters was verified on December 30`", no water was present for sampling and subsequent analysis. Depths to water were collected for the tailing impoundment main embankment piezo- meters, the West Pit and the tailing embankment monitoring wells on December 28`h. The December 28`h tailing impoundment piezometer measurements identified these installations were either dry or contained less than 12 inches of water as illustrated in Table 2. Tables 1 and 2 below identify the depth to water measurements collected for each of the site monitoring wells, piezometers and lysimeters as required by the terms and conditions of the TR-32 QA/QC plan. The tailing impoundment collection pond underdrain flow was pumped intermittently during the month to minimize the collection pond level. The leak detection system was measured on December 30`h. The December collection pond underdrain flow average was 42.58 gpm and a total of 400 gallons of water was excavated from the leak detection system yielding a monthly average of 13.33 gpad. P.O.
