Division Director
Natural Resource Trustee
Dear Party and/or Interested Person:
On January 8, 2008, the Division received a request from Battle Mountain Resources, Inc. (Battle
Mountain) to withdraw AM-02. Therefore, the application for AM-02 has been withdrawn and the review
process for AM-02 has been terminated.
Battle Mountain has submitted a new amendment application, AM-03, for the San Luis Project.
According to the application for AM-03, Battle Mountain proposes to add 977 acres to the permit area
and to transfer ground water from the West Pit to the adjacent ranch for use as irrigation supply water.
As of January 4, 2008, the review process and associated comment period for AM-03 has commenced.
Please note that comments previously filed in conjunction with AM-02 will not be considered filed
in regard to AM-03 If you wish to comment on AM-03 you must timely file new comments.
Pursuant to Rule 1.7.1 of the Mineral Rules and Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation
Board for Hard Rock, Metal and Designated Mining Operations, any person has the right to submit
written statements supporting or objecting to AM-03. Written comments, protests and/or petitions for a
hearing must contain the name, mailing address and telephone number of the interested parties. In
order to be considered timely, such comments, protests, and petitions must be submitted not more than
20 days following the fourth publication of the public notice, to be published once a week for four
consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the locality of the proposed operation. If you
are interested in commenting on AM-03, you should check your local newspapers for the above
described notice. The Division anticipates that its decision date for AM-03 will be April 3, 2008.
Please contact me at the Division's office in Durango at 701 Camino del Rio, Room 315, Durango, CO

Sincerely, }
