Dear Party:
The Colorado Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety (Division) has received timely written
objections to the Amendment #9 application for the Cresson Project, Permit # M-1980-244. All comments
and objections have been forwarded to Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co. In accordance with Rule 2.7.1 of
the Minerals Rules and Regulations of The Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for Hard Rock Metal
and Designated Mining Operations (Rules), a Pre- Hearing Conference has been scheduled to occur on
Thursday, October 23, 2008, beginning at 1: 00 p.m. at the Victor Elks Club located at 367 North 3rd
Avenue, Victor, Colorado 80860. Parties wishing to participate at the Formal Hearing must be
present; failure to appear at the Pre-Hearing conference will result in the loss of Party status. Parties
whose issues have been resolved, or no longer wish to participate in the proceedings, are encouraged to
submit a formal party withdrawal form with the Division. A party may attend the Pre-Hearing
Conference via telephone, if such a request is made in writing to the Pre-hearing Conference Officer at least
(5) working days, or less for a good cause shown, prior to the Pre-hearing Conference date. Upon approval
to appear by phone, the requesting party will be provided the call in number for the conference.
Mr. Daniel Hernandez will be the Pre-Hearing Conference Officer. The purpose of the Pre-Hearing
Conference is to describe the Division's review process, to explain the rights and responsibilities of the
parties, to discuss and resolve issues to the extent possible, to describe the Board Hearing process, to
determine the list of issues under the Board's jurisdiction and to simplify the list, and to determine who has
demonstrated standing to be party to the Formal Board Hearing. Please note, pursuant to Rule 2.6 (2),
parties are required to provide thirteen (13) 3-hole punched copies of their list of potential witnesses
and their exhibits at the Pre-Hearing Conference. Failure to do so may preclude use of witness
testimony or exhibits at the Formal Public Hearing.
In addition, the Division has scheduled the matter for a Formal Public Hearing before the Colorado
Mined Land Reclamation Board during the November 13 and 14 Board meeting, held at the Double
Eagle Hotel and Casino, Conference Room 442, East Bennett Ave, Cripple Creek, CO 80813. The
meeting will begin at 10:00 a.m. each day or as soon thereafter as the matter can be considered. Parties and
interested persons will have the opportunity to be heard. Decisions reached by the Pre-hearing Conference
