Proposed Mining Layout for h-Pit, G-Pit, East-Panel Pit, and A-East Pit <br />Along Nsith Outline of Landslide Area <br />removed working southwards to the landslide limit by removing L-M interburden and spoiling to <br />the west. After the M-Seam is removed the dragline will work its way back downdip removing <br />the M-Q interburden and spoiling to the west. <br />At the same time is moving interburden for the first cut, a T & S fleet will be removing <br />overburden from the northern portion ofeach subsequent K-Pit cut, and the spoils will he trucked <br />to the old G-Strike area. These spoils will serve as a buttress to the toe of the landslide. Since <br />the M-Q interburden is thin in this area (estimated 10-20 ft), all K-Pit mining in the will he via <br />the T & S fleet. The orientation of these cuts have been selected parallel the average strike of the <br />beds. In this area ofthe mine the beds are steeply dipping (up to 25° dip). <br />Once the maximum spoil height is attained in the old G-Strike area, the spoils will be <br />trucked over the ridgeline to a designated spoil area in Ilorse Gulch. Once sufficient mining has <br />occurred in the early K-Pit. spoil will he trucked to the first K-Pit cuts. <br />5.3 Reserve Recovery Estimates <br />It is anticipated that recovery for all the reserves within the 7-Dip Pit and A-Pit areas will <br />be as similar to other areas of the mine. The only unrecoverable reserves in these two areas are <br />Agapito Associates, Inc.
