The Financial War- <br />ranty for this operation is $242,205.00 and the permitted area is <br />689.01 ac. t and the pit is divided into 19 Reclamation Phases. <br />The bond was reevaluated in October 2004 and the amount of <br />disturbance has been reduced as reclamation and sloping continues <br />on Stage 2. Reclamation is progressing as approved in the <br />permit. <br />As required in Rule 6.7 the mine permit sign has been <br />installed at the entrance to the pit and the boundary has been <br />outlined with red toped posts to delineate the affected lands. <br />Please refer to the attached maps for the location of the <br />areas discussed in this report. This map does not show the <br />entire permit area, only the two areas south and north of the <br />river affected by the operation at this time. We will deal <br />specifically with each of the Annual Report requirements as <br />outlined in Rule 1.15 of the Rules and Regulations. <br />(1) Mining continued in Stage 2 - PART A, Stage 2 - PART B and <br />Stage F covering 13.52 acres ±. Mining was completed on the <br />7.14- Ac. t in Stage 2 - PART B and 1.04 ac. ± in Stage F as <br />shown on the Annual Report Map-- Sheet 1 of 2 (\\\). We <br />continued to mine on 5.34 acres f in the northwest part of <br />'Stage 2 - PART A. The Plant Site in Stages W, Z and 2 is <br />still in use (tan). Approximately 3.90 acres was stripped <br />on the east side of the existing mining area in Stage 2 - <br />PART A (yellow). The red line on Stage F is the approximate <br />location of the working face in that area. Additional <br />stripping will be done ahead of the working face in Stage F <br />if needed.
