Regarding the lien, I notice the letter is from the Dept. of Revenue. I have never seen any correspondence <br />like this, and to the best of my knowledge DRMS does not deal with taxation issues. So I really cannot <br />provide any guidance on the matter. I am copying Tony Waldron on this correspondence, who may have <br />some experience in such matters and may be able to provide advice. <br />I am available if you have additional questions. <br />Regards, <br />David Bird <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining & Safety <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman Street, Rm 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Tel: 303-866-3567 x8108 <br />Fax: 303-832-8106 <br />email: david.bird@state.co.us <br />http: //mining. state.co.us/ <br />From: John Browning fmailtoJb@poplar.com] <br />Sent: Thursday, June 25, 2009 10:34 AM <br />To: Bird, David <br />Subject: Fwd: more Penn Mountain <br />Dear David, <br />This is to follow up my phone message. As I said, the deal to sell Penn Mt seems to be going ahead, but slowly. <br />Rather than stretch your patience with another request for extension on the new environmental bond, I am <br />willing to file the increased amount -- though if you are feeling generous on extensions that would of course be <br />appreciated. <br />My first question is how do we do this? I'm assuming we can simply increase the existing letter of credit <br />arrangement. I will contact my bank to see what needs to be done at their end, but who do I need to talk to at the <br />Colorado state end? <br />Second, attached please find a rather ominous note from the state about a lien regarding unsettled amounts for <br />Metallic Minerals Severance. I must admit I had received correspondence about this before, but had assumed <br />that it had to do with the bond and therefore filed it. I now wonder if it is in fact to do with the bond, but, if not, <br />what it's about. More important, I wonder how I can stop the lien and sort this out. I very much hope that we <br />don't actually owe the money and that there has been some confusion which we can now clear up. It is a lot of <br />money. <br />I look forward to hearing from you. <br />with best regards, <br />John
