URAVAN-BECK PROJECT DRILL SITE P-2 Page 3 of 6 <br />NOTICE OF INTENT TO COMMENCE PROSPECTING <br />APPENDICES To NO[ APPLICATION <br />access trail except where spot cut and fill occurs. Such soil will be windrowed to the side of <br />the trail. <br />Large vegetation, such as trees and shrubs over 3 ft. high that cannot be avoided, will be <br />cut down prior to topsoil stripping will be stored near the center of the drill area until drilling <br />is completed. Material will then be hauled to the Montrose County West End Landfill located <br />two miles west and one mile north of Nucla. See also 111.5. <br />Section /11.7. J. <br />The drill pad area is located on the end of a small ridge about '/z mi. SE of the Return Mine. <br />It is approximately 750 ft. N. of the rim of Red Canyon, an intermittent wash. Strata dips to <br />the W. The nearest live water is a spring located 360 ft. below the drill surface or 100 <br />vertical ft. below total depth (TD) of holes. This spring is about 1 mi. to the NE of drill area. <br />The Dolores River is 1,000 vertical ft. below the drill surface and 1.5 mi. to the E. No <br />groundwater was encountered during previous Uranium drilling in the Carpenter Flats area <br />(as verbally reported to the Company by a previous operator). It is anticipated that no water <br />will be encountered while drilling the planned 200-foot deep holes. <br />Section IV. 2. <br />Vegetation at the Drill Site is <br />dominated by Pinyon-Juniper <br />woodlands, based on a site visit <br />and interpretation of recent aerial <br />photos from the National <br />Agricultural Imagery Program <br />(NAIP) (2006). The site is one <br />two levels, separated by a 30-ft. <br />high, steep, rocky slope. The <br />photo to the right shows the <br />lower platform of the site. The <br />trees obscure the slope and the <br />upper platform behind them Note <br />the white Claim marker, far left <br />side of photo, about mid-way up. <br />APPENDIX B <br />Species recorded on the site included Milkvetch (Astragalus sp.), Hoary ground daisy (Townsendia incana), Serviceberry <br />(Amalanchier alnifolia), Mormon tea (Ephedra trifurca), Birch-leaf mountain mahogany <br />(Cercocarpus montanus), Claret cup cactus (Echinocereus triglochidiatus), Popcorn flower <br />(Cryptantha sp.), Twinflower (Physaria acutifolia), and Wallflower (Erysimum capitatum) <br />were all noted on the site, in addition to the Pinyon-Juniper overstory.
