ORIGINAL - PUBLIC FILE <br />(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-1 980-944 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 34sin9 INSPECTORS INITIALS: __RK- <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />The Division conducted a monthly monitoring and construction progress inspection of the <br />site on 3/5/09. Present during the inspection were, Mr Gray Goodrich and Mr Tim Comer of <br />CC&V. <br />As approved in January 2009, the constriction phase of Amendment 9 is progressing well. In <br />fact according to CC&V they are ahead of schedule. <br />The visual berm for both the city of Victor and Goldfield was being top soiled in <br />anticipation of hydro seeding and mulching. Clay processing, load out bin and sub-station <br />move to the new area and power pole moves were progressing accordingly. <br />The new haul road for the load out bin has been cut to grade. CC&V wants to place a small <br />lined fresh water pond for dust suppression that will allow them to cut the fill up time <br />for the tankers near the crusher pump station area. Since the are being proposed is part <br />of the current affected area, as long as CC&V provides a letter and new map showing the <br />location, DRMS will not object to the placement of this small pond. On fact during <br />Amendment 8 construction, AMES, was the contractor at that time and is also the current <br />contractor for the pad construction, had placed a similar fresh water pond below the <br />Arequa Gulch overburden storage e area. <br />Inspected the Cresson mine area, both the main, East and wild horse(East Cresson) were <br />active. Mining in the wild horse and East Cresson pits should be completed soon with <br />backfilling to commence as soon as possible. Backfilling of the East Cresson mine with the <br />exception of the area to be mined is still continuing. Most of the old #3 and # 4 pads are <br />gone in anticipation of mining. The old reclaimed Rubi Leach pad material is also almost <br />gone. The material from the pad with the exception of a small amount placed along the old <br />#3 &4 pad areas, is buried in the East Cresson Mine AS BACKFILL. <br />Inspected the old Iron Clad and Globe hill area. As noted in the previous inspection, CC&V <br />had contracted with a salvage yard to remove some of the mine waste from the area. A small <br />drill rig was active along the west side of the old pads. <br />Inspected the phase 1,II,II& IV leach pad areas and recorded the following readings from <br />the high and low volume solution collection transducers. <br />Phase I high volume solution collection transducer # 1 was recorded at 47.4 # 2 was at <br />48.9 and # 3 was at 49.0. Piezometer for the pond was recorded at 57.4 feet. Low volume # <br />1 was at .15 & # 2 was at.24. <br />Phase II, High Volume Solution Collection Transducer # 4 was recorded at 33.1 # 5 was at <br />29.3 and # 6 was at 32.8. Piezometer for the pond was recorded at 34.2 feet. <br />Phase IV, High Volume solution collection transducer # 7 was recorded AT 43.0 # 8 WAS AT <br />42.5 and #9 was at 44.1. and # 10 was at 44.5. Low volume transducer # 1 was at 11.2 and # <br />2 was at 4.8 inches of hydrostatic head. Jody Keel who is in charge of electrical <br />maintenance for the site was in the area at the time of the inspection. <br />Inspected the External pond, it was holding about the same amount of water as noted during <br />the last inspection. Low volume solution collection transducer # 1 was recorded at 12.5 <br />and # 2 was at 10.8 inches of hydrostatic head. <br />Inspected the under-drain, both the 4 inch pipe and the south under drain was at a <br />trickle. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: MR TIM COMER <br />OPERATOR: CC&V <br />ADDRESS P.O.BOX 191 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: VICTOR- C-01 QRADQ 80860 cc: r CE
