I' $TEFFEN ROBERTSON ANO KIgS BEN <br />' PROGRCSS RCI'ORT <br />' TO: H. Kent Pelcr <br />' FROM: Glenn Guyer <br /> DATE: October 2, 1992 <br /> RE: Battle Mountain Gold at San Luis, Colorado <br /> (SRK Project No. 14715) <br /> <br /> [ left the office at 3 p.m, 9-30-92 and arrived in Wallenberg, Colorado at 530 p. m., where I <br />' checked into a Best Western Motel. <br /> The morning of 10-1-92, I left the motel at 6:00 a.m., arriving on the site at 7:20 a.m. I met <br /> with Alana Scott, Environmental Engineer for the San Luis Mine, and we w@nt to the upper <br /> impoundment area where I started testing the density of the in-place deposited tailings, using the <br /> sand cone method. Six densities were taken and these are shown on the accompanying document <br /> (map). I attempted to push (by hand) clear plastic tubes adjacent to each density site, but was <br /> unsuccessful due to the tube collapsing at the bottom end. <br />' I then attempted to drive a split spoon and recover samples. This was somewhat successful (see <br />accompanying test data). <br />I called the office and talked to Kent and Rob, stating that I had taken all samples outlined for <br />the upper impoundment, however, the lower impoundment, which Alana and I had viewed prior <br />to the call, was too wet and soft to support a person's weight for any distance out from the main <br />embankment. Rob informed me of the importance of the tests even a few feet from the <br />shoreline. Alana and 1 gathered several pieces of plywood and I proceeded to get three more <br />' samples where Rob had asked them to be taken. <br />I left the site at 4:00 p. m., arriving at home at 8:00 p.m. <br />I started testing the samples (drying back the sandcone samples and measuring, weighing and <br />drying all other samples). l returned the equipment to the storage area and wrote this report on <br />' (0-2-92. <br />The samples were prepared and tested in the following manner: <br />Sand cone samples were retained in sealed containers until brought to the Denver lab, at which <br />time they were opened, weighed, dried to a constant weight, re-weighed and calculated for <br />' moisture content. TITe wet density calculated in the field was rechecked and the moisture content <br />was removed to obtain the dry density. <br />1 <br />
