Reclamation Completed During 2008: <br />The area opened at Site 7 on the Two Point claim was closed, re-contoured, and reseeded. <br />Silt fences were installed below the reclaimed area. Field checks in October 2008 showed <br />good growth. <br />Trees were planted on Site 7 on the Two Point Mine. About 50 ponderosa pine were <br />planted along with 30 mixed meadow rose, mountain mahogany, and wax currant. Tree <br />and shrub growth on other reclaimed sites is doing well. <br />The two prospects opened on the C & J No. 1 and Free Hawk were reseeded with native <br />grass mix. These sites did not have timber and the nearby timber should reseed into these <br />areas now they have been disturbed. <br />Native grass which was planted during 2007 is doing well on all reclaimed sites. <br />The access road to the Free Hawk was water-barred and seeded. Growth appeared good <br />when inspected in October. The road will be reclaimed approximately 2011. <br />Proposed 2009 Operations: <br />Operations will be in conjunction with operations on Colorado Calumet Company claims <br />and Glacier Peak Mining claims between early May through early August. Mechanized <br />operations will be limited to 15 working days on the Crystaljack claims. We will use a <br />John Deere 992 and/or 690 track hoe on the Two Point Mine and continue operations at <br />Site 7 and begin excavations at Site 6. If time permits, we will resume operations on Site <br />5 (Site E) on Qui-Buc No. 1. We will also open additional prospects on C & J No. 1 and <br />the Free Hawk. <br />Site visits, including mineral extraction, reclamation, and claim maintenance will be <br />continued throughout the season. <br />Proposed 2009 Disturbances: <br />Proposed operations for 2009 at Site 7 on the Two Point Mine will open the site an <br />additional 0.3 acre, close, and reclaim the site. Site 6 will be opened approximately 0.2 <br />acres. A portion of this site may remain open for 2010 work. Prospects on the northern <br />claims will be approximately 0.07 acre. If Site E on Qui-Buc No. 1 is worked, it will be <br />expanded approximately 0.04 acre. <br />Proposed 2009 Reclamation: <br />All sites and prospects opened during 2009 will be closed and reclaimed, except possibly <br />Site 5 (Site E) on Qui-Buc No. 1 and Site 6 on the Two Point. In this case, they will be <br />made safe for the winter.
