Sherman <br />Executive Director <br />RE: Possible Succession of Operator, Gold Basin Mine, Gold Mountain Metals, Inc. <br />as operator, Permit M-1992-045. <br />Dear Ms. Van Ella: <br />Ronald W. Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />I have enclosed a Succession of Operators Application Package for your use along with a number of <br />different kinds of Reclamation Bond forms for your use. These forms are also available over the Internet at <br />http://mining.state.co.us . The site remains under the same permit as when you initially operated the <br />mine. <br />At this time I do not have a specialist managing the Gold Basin site. The last inspection was conducted on <br />August 25, 2006 in response to a complaint that the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety received <br />on August 10, 2006. The inspection resulted in the Division requiring Gold Mountain Metals, Inc. to file a <br />technical revision (TR-02) that requires the operator to run a closed circuit water recirculation system to <br />operate the sluice box at the mine. I have enclosed copies of all documents regarding this complaint, <br />inspection and revision for your files. <br />Please be aware that any changes to a permit, including a succession of operator, must be initiated and/or <br />approved by the current permit holder. <br />Sincerely, <br />Carl B.
