General Shale Brick, <br />Inc. dba Robinson Brick is now the permitted operator of the Pioneer Mine, and as such, is responsible for all provisions <br />in M-1977-252, as well as those specified in the Rules and Regulations. Robinson Brick Company is relieved of all <br />responsibilities concerning this operation. <br />After conducting an inspection on July 10, 2008, the Division recalculated the financial warranty and found the existing <br />financial warranty held by the Division for the Pioneer Mine to be inadequate. <br />The estimated liability amount of $39,093 for the Pioneer Mine, when added to the existing liability amount of <br />$52,150, exceeds the performance bond held. If you have not already done so, please submit additional bond in <br />the amount of $39,093. This needs to be sent certified mail. <br />For questions pertaining to the financial warranty, please contact Elizabeth Taliaferro at (303) 866-4084. You may <br />contact me with other questions at (303) 866 - 3927. <br />Sincerely, <br />a4?&/ <br />David A.
