I ~ Bowie Resources, LLC April 21, 2006 <br />Bowie No. 2 Mine <br />2005 Annual Hydrology Report <br />during the year (2003) so no monitoring was performed. The DH-67 holes were <br />refurbished during 2004. DH-58 and 58a were eliminated by mining during late 2003 so <br />they will no longer be monitored. DH-66 was eliminated by mining during early 2004 so <br />it is no longer monitored. <br />Drill holes DD-NM4X98-27, 29 and 29 were in-mine monitoring holes which were added <br />to the monitoring program during 2003. The three monitoring points were abandoned <br />when the mine activity retreated from the east mains in mid 2004. TC-01-01, 02 and <br />03 were added to the monitoring program during 2003. <br />Conclusion <br />The results of the hydrologic monitoring conducted during the 2005 season indicate <br />consistent chemical and physical properties when compared with the baseline values <br />provided in the permit application. Longwall mining is the focus of all mining operations <br />at Bowie No. 2 Mine. This mining method has not affected the local hydrology during <br />the current year. Water quality at all monitored sites remains good overall and no <br />chemical or physical impacts have been noted. None of the field or laboratory <br />parameter results indicate an adverse impact associated with the mining operations of <br />the Bowie No. 2 Mine on the local hydrology. <br /> <br />
