(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: P-2008-017 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 5-28-08 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS GRM <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This inspection was conducted as part of the normal program established by the Colorado Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety for Notice of Intent operations. The Donna K Project is a proposed drilling program by <br />BlueRock Energy. The project is proposing 85 holes along existing historic roads near the pre-law Donna K Mine in <br />western Montrose County. Representatives for BlueRock and the BLM Uncompahgre Field office accompanied the <br />inspector on site. <br />The proposed access to the site is along historic pre-law roads. Most of the roads have very little to no vegetation. <br />Erosion is noted as being very minimal even in the area of a drainage crossing. No major repairs are noted as being <br />necessary and the proposed 864 feet of repair seems to be very conservative. Some boulders and tree fall will have <br />to be cleared from pathways which will be replaced as part of the reclamation. <br />The 85 holes proposed are approximately 350 feet in depth. The primary purpose is defining the ore body of the <br />historic mine. Past mine activity indicates there are no groundwater issues in this particular area. Mud pits are <br />proposed but only as a provisional part of the Notice in case unforeseen water is encountered. <br />The inspector notes that the Donna K Portal is open. The back has eroded away and caved in back to a point where <br />access is possible. It is noted the decline is close to 45 degrees and very steep. This area is not part of the NOI but <br />being noted for future reference in case of an inquiry. <br />Overall the project appears to be well present within the NOI application. No issues or concerns are noted at this <br />time. A reclamation liability estimate will be calculated based on the information in the Notice and this site visit. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Russ Means at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and <br />Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 South 3rd Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, phone no. <br />970-241-1117. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Dave Munger <br />OPERATOR: BlueRock Energy <br />STREET: P.O.
