(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-1980-055 HR <br />INSPECTION DATE 12/5/07 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS RCO,DAB,AJW,GRM <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This partial inspection was performed by the Division as part of its monitoring of Hard Rock/Metals 112 permits. The operator <br />was contacted about the scheduled inspection. The operator's representative named on page one was present during the <br />inspection. <br />There was no activity observed at the site on the day of the inspection, but mining and stockpiling have been occurring. There <br />was a small ore pile on the pad, since most of the above-ground ore has recently been hauled to the mill. <br />Recently the operator was made aware of several areas of knapweed occurrence on the site and the road shoulders. The <br />operator performed a detailed a weed survey and has implemented a good program of monitoring and treatment (see map in <br />file). Results of this program, which must be continued as long as the permit is active, may be reported in the annual report. <br />This permit was recently converted to a 112 permit, which added land for expanding the dump to the north. The operator <br />continues to place waste rock on the outslope of the dump as underground development and mining continue. As the dump <br />grows outward to the north the operator must ensure that it does not exceed the new permit boundary, nor occupy the area that <br />is designated for the downslope stormwater containment structure. <br />The activities observed are consistent with the approved plan. No further items were observed during the inspection. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, 701 Camino del Rio, <br />Room 315, Durango, Colorado 81301, Attn: Bob Oswald; phone no. 970-247-5193. (As of 10/22/07 we have a different <br />room number.
