San Luis Project CMLRB Permit No. M-88-112 / / February 2004 Monthly Report ~/ Dear Mr. Dillie: IF$'~C~l,d H9'l~;~J MAR 1 ? 1004 / ~'~~sien al Minerals and Geology The following summarizes monitoring and site activities at the Battle Mountain Resources Inc. (BMRI), San Luis Project for the month of February 2004. Surface and ground water monitoring and analysis were completed for all required sites during the month per the terms and conditions of the TR-32 Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) plan. Vacuum on the tailing lysimeters was verified on February 19`h, no water was present for sampling and subsequent analysis. Depths to water were collected for the tailing impoundment main embankment piezo- meters, the West Pit and the tailing embankment monitoring wells on February 29`h. The February 29`h tailing impoundment piezometer measurements identified these installations were either dry or contained less than 12 inches of water as illustrated in Table 2. Tables 1 and 2 below identify the depth to water measurements collected for each of the site monitoring wells, piezometers and lysimeters as required by the terms and conditions of the TR-32 QA/QC plan. The tailing impoundment collection pond underdrain flow was pumped intermittently during the month to minimize the collection pond level. The leak detection system was measured on February 29`h. The February tailings pond underdrain flow average was 45.15 gpm and a total of 340 gallons of water was excavated from the leak detection system yielding a monthly average of 10.96 gpad. P.O.
