URAVAN-BECK PROJECT DRILL SITE P-9 Page 2 of 7 <br />NOTICE OF INTENT TO COMMENCE PROSPECTING <br />APPENDICES To NOI APPLICATION <br />Section lll. 7. D. <br />Twenty drill holes will be situated in 3- to 7-hole fence patterns of close-order (15-25 ft. <br />separation). The sub-parallel fences may be as close as 50 ft. apart, depending on old <br />drill patterns, roads, and topography. All drilling disturbance will be located within the <br />4.5 acre drill site. <br />Topsoil stockpiles will be constructed along the side of each drill fence where topsoil is <br />stripped prior to drilling for use in reclamation. <br />The county road passes through the drill site, thus no access roads to the drill site will <br />be required. <br />Section lll. 7. H. <br />Equipment for Drilling: <br />• Three pick-ups: one for Yellowcake logger, one for geophysical logger, one for <br />driller. <br />• Drill rig. <br />• Plastic water tank will be mounted on one truck (used for mixing bentonite or neat <br />cement for hole plugging and abandonment, and for fire safety). Water will be <br />purchased locally. <br />• Fuel will be carried in approved containers on second pickup. <br />• One truck-mounted drilling rig, 1,000 to 1,500-ft. depth capability, air-rotary and <br />hammer-type drills on board. <br />• One wheeled backhoe with blade and bucket. <br />• One ATV with trailer for reclamation seeding work. <br />• One low-boy trailer to haul the backhoe and ATV close to the site. The trailer will be <br />parked on the Q-12 road at the edge of the drill area to minimize site impact. <br />Section 111.7. J. <br />The drill pad area will be located on a broad, rolling shelf between two steep slopes <br />located about 900 vertical feet above and east of the Dolores River. The Dolores is <br />approximately 1,300 feet to the west. No springs or intermittent drainages are marked <br />on the USGS quad within one mile of the drill site. No groundwater was encountered <br />during previous Uranium drilling in this area (as verbally reported to the Company by a <br />previous operator). It is anticipated that no water will be encountered while drilling the <br />planned 200-foot deep holes.
