financial warranty and updated bond forms shall also be provided to the DRMS from Mr.
Kunau's bonding/surety provider.
The amount of financial warranty set by the Division for this operation is $11,218.00. You must submit a financial
warranty in this amount and a performance warranty in order for us to issue a permit. In the event you have requested a
financial warranty form, we have enclosed it in this letter. If you have not, please select a type of financial warranty from
Rule 4.3. Then contact us so that we can provide you with the appropriate warranty form. We have enclosed a
performance warranty form with this letter for your use.
PLEASE NOTE THAT MINING OPERATIONS MAY NOT COMMENCE UNTIL A PERMIT HAS BEEN
ISSUED BY THE DIVISION AFTER RECEIPT OF YOUR FINANCIAL WARRANTY AND PERFORMANCE
WARRANTY. A PERMIT WILL NOT BE ISSUED UNTIL WE VERIFY THE ADEQUACY OF BOTH YOUR
