V <br />The current excavation at Site C will be extended north and to the east to engulf present <br />disturbance Site B to complete mining this area of the known deposit (approximately 4,000 <br />square feet). This portion of the excavation will then be reclaimed but not seeded. The <br />excavation will continue east and south for another 2,000 square feet. Removed topsoil and <br />gravel for processing will be stored on the reclaimed Site B and to the west until it is processed. <br />As the excavation continues south in future years, the soil and gravel will be moved off Site B <br />and the area will be recountoured and reseeded. <br />Anticipated 2009 Disturbances: <br />Approximately 0.1 acre will be disturbed including previous disturbance in extending Site C <br />north and east. An additional 0.05 acre will be disturbed in extending excavation east and south. <br />Areas that have experienced heavy mineral trespass will be made safe, buried and temporarily <br />reseeded. <br />Proposed 2009 Reclamation: <br />A small portion of previous Site B, up to 1,000 square feet may be ready for reclamation. If so, it <br />will be recontoured and reseeded. <br />Sufficiency of Bond: <br />A reclamation bond of $ 8,477 is held by the State of Colorado. This bond is set aside to cover <br />annual reclamation efforts for this mining permit. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />XJOSL. DORRIS Atch <br />Owner/Operator Topaz Mountain Gem Mine Site Maps
