RECEIVED <br />Florence Pit M-2001-070 <br />Mining Activity August 7, 2002-August i 1, 2003 <br />AUG 12 2003 <br />Division •f Minerals and Geology <br />I closed the mine for the last season on September 19, 2002 at which time I backfilled the <br />excavations made during that season. <br />Upon returning to the mine in May of 2003, I found water seeping into the pit from the <br />Bad Boys mine directly North and above my diggings. <br />Due to this water problem, it wasn't until June 26, 2003 that I was able to do any mine <br />excavating. I reopened one area in which I expect tb find turquoise. It is mazked with an <br />X on the map. This was on the floor of the existing pit. No topsoil or vegetation was <br />disturbed. The dirt removed was piled to'the West marked with xac. 'This activity took <br />place within the permit area. - - - - - <br />I estimate my total time in actual mining so far this season to be six days for approximately <br />five hours per day. <br />When the season is over (late September), fill dirt will be replaced in the new excavation. <br />Next year the same procedure will be-repeated in the area turquoise deposits are found. <br />The mining activity usually begins late May or June depending on the weather and my <br />availability to conduct the mining. <br />~~ <br />8 -(/-03 <br />
