The Plan of Operations includes previous mining activities on the Van, Rodman, Paris and Curley mining claims. The area was previously permitted under 34 CFR 3809 as a plan of operations to Umetco Corporation. Anew serial number has been assigned to International Uranium Corporation for this project.

The mitigation measures are required to ensure no significant impacts will occur. • The claimanUoperatortyill notify the BLM at least 15 days prior to any surface disturbance of the proposed ventilation site so the BLM can conduct a cultural resource survey of the proposed ventilation site when the location of the site is known. • The claimant/operatortyill file an amendment to this plan of operations with the BLM prior to any new surface disturbance outside of the permit area as required by 43 CFR 3809. BLM will be notified of any changes to the mine permit through plan amendments. • The mine will operate and beJeclaimed in accordance with the CDMG permit for the Van 4 Shaft, M-97-032. / • Cultural resource and Threatened and Endangered Species inventories by BLM are required prior to any surface disturbance outside of existing disturbance.
