EXHIBIT D <br />MINING PLAN AND TIMETABLE <br />LOCATION <br />This is an open pit mine located 10.00 miles southwest of <br />Yuma Colorado in Section 9, Township 1 South, Range 48 West, 6th <br />P.M. near the intersection of Yuma County Roads E and 28. From <br />Yuma take Colorado 59 south for 8.0 miles to County Road 30; then <br />west on County Road 30, 2.0 miles to County Road E; then 2.0 <br />miles south on County Road E to County Road 28; then west M mile <br />on County Road 28 to the private access road then north M mile to <br />mine entrance on the west side of the mine area. See the VICINITY <br />MAP-EXHIBITB-1 for the mine's location and surrounding features. <br />See the LOCATION MAP -EXHIBIT B-2 for the mine's general location south <br />of Yuma, Colorado and the mines, relation to surrounding roads. <br />CURRENT CONDITIONS <br />This permit area covers 38.57 acre ± parcel and the site <br />elevation is approximately 4220 feet, sea level datum. Access is <br />via a private dirt lane that runs along the west side of the <br />Moser property. This is an existing road. The term "permit <br />line" is used to denote the permit boundary/affected lands line <br />for this permit and the term should be considered interchangeable <br />for discussion purposes in this document. <br />MAPEXHIBITC, shows the outline of the permit area, and the <br />touching landowners within 200 feet of the facility. The current <br />topography, hydrologic and surface features of the property are <br />also shown. The site is part of a larger parcel of surrounding <br />land owned by the Moser family. This land is presently used for <br />agricultural purposes (rangeland) by the landowner. The land <br />will continue to be used by the landowners for rangeland as <br />mining progresses. Part of the pre-permit mining area will be <br />used for the processing and stockpile area for the mine. <br />At one time, the northwest part of this area was used as a <br />borrow pit area for material used on the landowners feedlot. The <br />area within the old mine area has little or no vegetation or soil <br />covering it due to past mining activities. There has been some <br />invasion of native grasses and scrub trees into the disturbed <br />area. We are not sure when the landowners began mining on the <br />site but plant growth on the old mined area suggest that it could <br />have been as much as 10 years ago. This area has little or no <br />topsoil but there is a stockpile of growth medium immediately <br />east of the highwall area that will provide suitable material for <br />use on the area that will be redisturbed. <br />6
