Box 1030 <br />Paonia, Colorado 81428 <br />Re: Comments Re~ardina Bowie Geotechnical Borehole 2007 <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />Oxbow Mining, ]LLC, Elk Creek Mine (Oxbow) is in receipt of the Public Scoping document for <br />the Bowie Resources, LLC (Bowie) proposal to construct a drill pad, access road and drill one <br />continuous geotechnical borehole in Hubbard Canyon on USFS managed lands. Oxbow <br />appreciates the opportunity to comment on the proposal. <br />The USFS should recall that Bowie and Oxbow have adjoining Federal coal leases in the general <br />vicinity of Hubbzird canyon. The Bowie proposal appears to be drilling the borehole just <br />adjacent to Oxbow's coal lease. In the vicinity of Hubbard canyon, Bowie and Oxbow have <br />overlapping CDR:MS Permit Boundaries and sometimes overlapping interests with respect to our <br />two mining operations. <br />Oxbow wishes to comment that the Bowie proposal should not result in any changes or limits to <br />Oxbow's access to conduct authorized mining related activities in the area. <br />Please contact me; at 970-929-5806 if you have any questions concerning our comments. 'Thank <br />you again for the opportunity to comment on the proposed project. <br />Sincerely, <br />h , <br />C1M-r~ ~ ~ <br />es A.
