On June 1, 2009, the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) mailed the Annual Fee and
Report Request for the Gold Basin Mine to your attention. The request indicates that the annual fee and
annual report for this mine site are due on or before your anniversary date of July 21, 2009.
The request was promptly returned to the Division with a note indicating we "should contact Gold
Mountain Metals, Inc. as the permit was in their name". The returned request also had the anniversary
date of July 21st crossed out and a new date of December 26th written in.
Please be advised that the anniversary date is associated with the permit and is set on the issuance date
of the permit. It does not change when a succession of operators occurs. Since the July 21, 2009
anniversary date occurs after you became the Permittee/operator for the Gold Basin Mine, the
responsibility for submittal of the annual fee and report falls to you. The Division understands that this
may have been misunderstood and has extended the due date for submittal of the annual fees and
