Reclamation Completed Durin 2g_ 007: <br />The area opened at Site 7 on the Two Point claim was closed, re-contoured, and reseeded. <br />Silt fences were installed below the reclaimed area. Field checks in October 2007 showed <br />good growth. <br />Trees were planted on Sites 1, 2, and 14 on Qui-Buc No. 1. Fifty ponderosa and ten <br />Douglas fir were planted early May and all showed good growth in October with over <br />90% survival. Approximately 30 mixed meadow rose, mountain mahogany, and wax <br />currant were also planted on this site. Grass which was planted during 2006 is well <br />established. These sites now exhibit over 80% coverage. The silt fences will be removed <br />summer of 2008. <br />The access road to Colorado Calumet claims was water-barred and reseeded. Growth is <br />good. The road will be reclaimed in approximately 2011. <br />Proposed 2008 Operations: <br />Operations will be in conjunction with operations on Colorado Calumet Company claims <br />and Glacier Peak Mining claims between early May through early August. Mechanized <br />operations will be limited to 10 working days on the Crystaljack claims. We will use a <br />John Deere 992 and/or 690 track hoe on the Two Point Mine and continue operations at <br />Site 7. We will also establish an access road of approximately .25 miles to the Free <br />Hawk, C&J No. 1, and C&J No. 2 claims in Section 34. This was approved in 2006. <br />Mining operations will commence in 2009 at these sites. <br />Site visits, including mineral extraction, reclamation, and claim maintenance will be <br />continued throughout the season. <br />Proposed 2008 Disturbances: <br />Proposed operations for 2008 will be limited to Site 7 on the Two Point claim. Site 7 will <br />be opened approximately 0.75 acre and closed and reclaimed at season end. Unless <br />additional mineralization is discovered, this site will likely be completed this season. <br />Proposed 2008 Reclamation: <br />All of Site 7 should be reclaimed by season close. <br />Approximately two dozen conifers and shrubs will be planted on Site 7, which was <br />reclaimed during 2007. <br />
