~.~- <br />Reclamation Accomplished to Date: <br />Both Sites A and B were reclaimed. The pits were filled, re-contoured, and topsoil re- <br />positioned. Both were reseeded in late fall. Silt fences were set up during operations and <br />will remain below each site along with berms to prevent erosion while the grass is re- <br />established, <br />Some small, hand-dug pits neaz both sites were also reclaimed and reseeded. <br />A tota10.44 acre has been excavated and reclaimed. <br />Preceding Yeaz, 2005 Reclamation: <br />None. 2006 was the first yeaz of operation. <br />Proposed 2007 Operations: <br />Operations will be in conjunction with operations on Glacier Peak Mining claims and <br />Crystaljack mining claims between early May and extend through eazly August and be <br />conducted primarily using a John Deer 992 and/or 690 track hoe. Excavations will be <br />opened at Sites C, D, and E on the Blue Streak No. 2. If significant mineralization is <br />encountered, one or more of these sites will remain open for future production. If any <br />site remains open over winter, it will be partially refilled, bermed and temporarily <br />reseeded to prevent erosion and to make it safe. If no significant mineralization is found, <br />any affected sites will be reclaimed. L`time permits, Site I may be opened on the Blue <br />Streak No. 1. <br />Site visits, including mineral extraction, reclamation, and claim maintenance will be <br />continued throughout the season. <br />Anticipated 2007 Disturbances: <br />Approximately 0.75 acre total will be newly disturbed on Sites C, E, D and possibly, I. If <br />any site remains open over winter it will be made safe and temporarily reclaimed. <br />Proposed 2007 Reclamation: <br />All test pits and any excavations opened during 2007 will be filled, re-contoured, and <br />reseeded at the close of the season unless significant mineralization is found. In that <br />case, whichever site produces will remain open and be worked during the 2008 season. <br />In May 2007, 50 mixed Douglas fir and ponderosa pines were planted on Sites A and B <br />that were reclaimed last fall, 2006. <br />Additionally, a small number of mixed shrubs, approximately 50, meadow rose, wax <br />currant, and mountain mahogany were also planted. <br />
