<br />BATTLE MOUNTAIN RESOURCES, INC. <br />January 6, 2003 <br />Mr. Jim Dillie <br />State of Colorado / <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />RECEIVED j= <br />JAN 10 2003 <br />Re: Battle Mountain Resources Inc. <br />San Luis Project ~ <br />CMLRB Permit No. M-88-112 ~/- <br />December 2002 Monthl <br />Dear Mr. Dillie: <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />The following summarizes monitoring and site activities at the Battle Mountain <br />Resources Inc., San Luis Project for the month of December 2002. <br />Surface and ground water monitoring and analysis were completed for all required sites <br />during the month. All surface water stations were inspected and recorded weekly as per <br />the permit terms and conditions. Inspection dates were 12/03, 12/11, 12/19, and 12/27 as <br />represented by the attached field log report copies. These inspections and recordings <br />identified readings at RS-1 as frozen, RS-2, RS-3 and RS-5 as zero (0) inches and RS-4 <br />and RS-6 as dry. The monthly precipitation accumulation for December was 0.007 <br />inches associated with light snowfall events. <br />Vacuum on the tailing lysimeters was verified on December 3151, no water was present <br />for sampling and subsequent analysis as represented on the attached Feld log report <br />copies. <br />Depths to water were collected for the tailing impoundment main embankment and West <br />Pit piezometers/monitoring wells on December 3151 as represented on the attached field <br />log report copies. The December 3151 tailing impoundment piezometer measurements <br />identified these installations were either dry or contained less than 12 inches of water as <br />illustrated in Table 2. Tables 1 and 2 below identifies the depth to water measurements <br />collected for each of the site monitoring wells, piezometers and lysimeters. <br />The tailing impoundment collection pond underdrain flow was pumped intermittently <br />during the month to minimize the collection pond level. The leak detection system was <br />measured on December 31st. The December 2002 collection pond underdrain flow <br />average was 46.47 gpm and a total of 630 gallons of water was excavated from the leak <br />P.O.
