<br />TURNPIKE MINING RESOURCE <br />ANNUAL REPORT <br />DMG PERMIT NO. M-2004-009-AM-1 <br />REPORT YEAR: <br />AUG. 4, 2008 THRU AUG. 4, 2009 <br />This DMG Regular 112 Permit (No. M-2004-009-AM-1) was approved by the Division <br />for operations on August 4, 2004 and the later amendment to this permit was approved on <br />June 21, 2006, expanding the area to be mined by approximately 75 acres. The total <br />permit area is 275 acres while the area permitted to be mined is 159 acres. Mining and <br />production of sand and gravel began on the site in September 2004. A TR (technical <br />Revision) approved in 2009, allowed a re-configuring of reclamation backfill, primarily <br />ion the north one-half of the permit area, with no change in the area to be mined. <br />During the report year, mining occurred only in a small area in the south half of the <br />permit area, with reclamation (backfilling) occurring on both the north and south halves. <br />Approximately 2.0 acres were mined. Approximately 8.2 acres were backfilled, <br />constituting reclamation for the year. All backfilling was done on areas that were mined <br />previous to the current reporting year. <br />During the next reporting year, approximately 7.0 acres may be mined to the east of the <br />current mined area in the south half of the permit area. Reclamation will consist <br />primarily of backfill on the north side of the south half of the permit area in Cell 2. Wash <br />water ponds may be moved to the southwest portion of the north-half of the permit area, <br />as the current wash pond area will be excavated for a reservoir. <br />A map is attached to this report showing the areas and acreages described above. <br />Sufficiency of Value of Financial Warranty <br />The permittee holds a Financial Warranty for the permit through Western Surety <br />Company of America in the full amount of $1,310,224.00, a figure sufficient to achieve <br />all reclamation requirements under the current permit. <br />A check in the amount of $791.00 is being submitted with this report to cover the Annual <br />Fee required to maintain this permit in good standing.
