To: Frank Johnson, Steve Renner, Dave Bucknam <br /> From:Bruce Stover <br /> Date:August 16, 1993 <br /> Re: Pioneer Canon Project/Dr. Corley Consent <br /> After further review of our files, Julie located the original <br /> consent form signed by Dr. Corley. Attached to that original <br /> consent was a Work Narrative which differs from the one attached <br /> to copies of the consent in my realty file, and which was signed <br /> by Energy Fuels, lessee of the property. Dr Corley sent his <br /> daughter Anne to our office to obtain the work narratives. A copy <br /> of the original consent and work narrative was given to her. The <br /> original consent does not contain the description of backfilling <br /> work (see attached copies of Work Narratives) , <br /> I believe the whole question of whether or not we were <br /> "Trespassing" on Dr. Corley' s land is ridiculous. Half the <br /> "problem" rests squarely on Dr. Corley. Although there appears <br /> to be a minor discrepancy in the consent documents, I kept Dr. <br /> Corley verbally informed of the work we planned to do, including <br /> the backfilling work. I specifically discussed our plans to do the <br /> backfilling work on at least two occasions. I also asked if he <br /> had any questions or concerns, and never received any indications <br /> that he did. Dr. Corley never indicated a problem with consent or <br /> permission until the morning of Monday, July 26 . This is after he <br /> in fact gave consent to the backfilling work on Friday, July 23 <br /> 1993, in an agreement he made with our contractor (see copy of <br /> attached letter to Corley from Golden Drilling) . Dr. Corley <br /> cashed the payment check referred to in the letter, in effect <br /> acknowledging the consent agreement in writing. <br /> In my opinion, the whole matter boils down to the fact that Dr. <br /> Corley has seized upon a minor technicality to cause the Division <br />
