SECTION 1.0 2006 Annual Reclamation Report <br />As specified by the revisions (1/3/90) to 2CCR 407-2, 2.04.13, Trapper Mine is submitting an Annual <br />Reclamation Report for the previous calendar year (2006). <br />Historically, section 3.5.3 of Trapper's mining and reclamation permit required a reclamation map be <br />submitted to the CDMG annually by March 15. Subsequent to 1988 the map entitled the "Postmine <br />Contour Map" was changed to "Reclamation Map." The reclamation maps developed from aerial <br />photographs taken during the previous fall shows pit advancements, recontoured spoil areas and a <br />historical account of the previously regraded areas for the year. <br />The 2006 reclamation map is a composite of the aerial photographs taken in October 2006, and shows <br />the reclamation performed during 2006 for all areas under bond. Map(s) 1 show the aerial extent and <br />location of disturbed acres, graded acres, topsoiled acres and perennial seeded acres during 2006. It <br />also shows the location, aerial extent and reclamation year of all previously revegetated areas, as well <br />as the actual and projected mature shrub clump establishment areas, topsoil stripping areas and <br />laydown areas for 2007. <br />1.1 Permittee Identification <br />The Permittee for this annual reclamation report is: <br />Trapper Mining Inc. <br />P.O.
