CRAGG SURVEYING <br />Stephen B. Cragg PLS <br />• 1476 2900 Road <br />Hotchkiss, Colorado 81419 <br />Phone 970.872-2258 <br />Fax 970.872-3358 <br />January 25, 2002 <br />Bowie Resources Ltd <br />Bowie No 2 mine <br />Paonia, Co. 81428 <br />Attn. Basil Bear <br />RE: Bowie No. 2 Mine <br />Subsidence Survey <br />A subsidence monitoring survey network has been established by Cragg Surveying for the <br />Bowie Resources, Bowie No. 2 Mine. The survey is based on the existing survey control grid <br />in place around the Bowie No. 2 Mine surtace facilities. The points for the subsidence survey <br />network have been established using a Trimble 4800 GPS survey system. This GPS survey <br />has been calibrated to the existing survey control grid and then the survey has been extended <br />to the north to cover the area where the coal has been mined and will be mined in the future. <br />• The subsidence survey network was started in May of 1999 with additional points added in <br />August of 1999 and November of 2000. The majority of the subsidence monitoring points <br />area # 5 rebar, 24 to 30 inchesin length, with a 2 inch aluminum survey cap. The caps are <br />stamped: Cragg Surveying, LS 24944. The survey network was surveyed again in October <br />and November of 2001 with additional points established in November of 2001. <br />The following tables list the survey points with the coordinate data, northing, Basting and elevation <br />for each point along with a table showing the relative shift in position from the 2000 survey to the <br />2001 survey. Some of the points show small changes in position which may be due to inherent <br />error in the survey, while some of the points show noticeable shift in position resulting from <br />subsidence due to the mining. See the accompanying map which shows the surtace topography, <br />underground mining plan, and the location of the subsidence points. <br />
