Box 191 • 100 North 3rd Street <br />Victor, Colorado 80860 <br />(719) 689-2977 - Fax (719) 689-3254 <br />Hand Delivered <br />April 15, 2008 <br />Mr. Berhan Keffelew <br />Senior Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Colorado Department of Natural Resources <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />Office of Mined Land Reclamation <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />RE: CRESSON PROJECT, PERMIT M-1980-244 <br />MINE LIFE EXTENSION <br />Dear Mr. Keffelew: <br />Enclosed please find one original and four copies of an application for a revision to the Cresson <br />Project referred to as the Mine Life Extension (MLE). The application consists of seven (7) <br />volumes of material. The original application contains an original signed application form with <br />the corporate seal, maps signed by a qualified professional and large scale design drawings of the <br />proposed changes to the valley leach facility (VLF) signed and stamped by a registered <br />professional engineer. The other four sets contain copies of the application form and 11"X17" <br />versions of the stamped and signed VLF drawings. We believe that the 11"X17" drawings are <br />equally as readable as the larger version, but wanted to provide one larger version for ease of <br />your review. For ease of review each application contains a table which lists the applicable <br />requirements of the "Mineral Rules and Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation <br />Board for Hard Rock, Metal and Designated Mining Operations" and lists where the required <br />information can be found in the seven volume application to satisfy each requirement. <br />The Mine Life Extension is an extension of existing operations at the Cresson Project to allow <br />mining to continue for an additional four years beyond the current completion of mining in 2012. <br />The application uses design standards that have been approved in the past by the Office of Mined <br />Land Reclamation ("OMLR") and does not propose any changes to these design standards. As a <br />f . result, the application may include certain previously approved documents for ease of review by <br />the OMLR.
