• Bowie Resources Limited April 25, 2001 <br />Bowie No. 2 Mine <br />Annual Hydrology Report <br />holes aze DH 42, DH 52, DH 54 and DH 55 and were located near the mine portals. Drill Holes <br />DH-13 and DH-34b were eliminated by mining during 1999. Drill Holes DH-57, 57a and DH-58, <br />58a were added in conjunction with the Terror Creek Coal Exploration Plan, with monitoring <br />beginning in the fall of 1999. Drill holes DH-65, DH-66, DH-67D, DH-6761w and DH-67abv <br />were added in conjunction with the Ironpoint Coal Exploration Plan, with some monitoring <br />begiruung during the fall of 2000. <br />Conclusion <br />The results of the hydrologic monitoring conducted during the 2000 season indicate consistent <br />chemical and physical properties when compazed with the baseline values provided in the permit <br />application. Mining methods at the Bowie No. 2 mine have transitioned from room and pillar <br />entry developement (with minimal extraction ratios employed to insure the longevity of the <br />underground coal production systems) to longwall mining methods. This muting method has <br />protected the local hydrology during the current yeaz. Longwal] mining is now the focus of all <br />muting operations at Bowie No. 2 Mine. Water quality at all monitored sites remains good overall <br />and no chemical or physical impacts have been noted. None of the field or laboratory parameter <br />results indicate an adverse impact associated with the mining operations of the Bowie No. 2 Mine <br />on the local hydrology. <br /> <br />• <br />
