In June 2007 the Parties submitted a Stipulated Motion to Re-Schedule <br />Hearing Dates and Schedules ("Motion") which set forth a briefing schedule, a <br />September 19, 2007 pre-hearing conference date, and an October 17, 2007 hearing date. <br />The Board approved the Motion. <br />2.

Pursuant to Rule 2.6(1) of the Mineral Rules and <br />Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for Hard Rock, Metal and <br />Designated Mining Operations, all motions must be received by the Board within two <br />working days following the pre-hearing conference.
