Bowie Resources Limited <br />Bowie No. 2 Mine <br />1998 Annual Mine Inflow Report <br />access roads. <br />The pump station is now fully operable and metered. This meter records the consumptive use of <br />water from the Deer Trail Ditch. During the 1998 calendar year, the Bowie No. 2 Mine <br />consumed 35.65 AC-FT of water in order to produce 1,151,651 tons of coal This usage <br />indicates that water for dust suppression and fire prevention at the Bowie No. 2 Mine is currently <br />averaging approximately 31 AC-F'I' per million tons of coal. This usage is expected to increase in <br />1999 when the bath house is installed. <br />Conclusions <br />It is reasonable to assume that during the 1998 Mine Water Inflow study season, less than 1.0 <br />gallon per minute are flowing into the mine worlrmgs of the Bowie No. 2 IvI'me, that <br />approximately 22 gallons of water per minute is introduced from the Deer Trail Ditch and that any <br />sudden increase m mine inflow values could be reasonably incorporated mto the dust suppression <br />process, precluding the necessity for any mine discharges. <br />• <br /> <br />Page 2 <br />
