0 2. Mining Timetable <br />11 <br />The following table (Table D-2) is a best estimate of the sequence of operations for the life of the <br />mine and is based on mining and selling an amount of 30,000 tons per year. <br />Table D-2 Morfitt Pit Mining Sequence <br /> Length of time to <br />Task Comments <br /> complete months <br />1 Phase 1 topsoil stripping, reclamation of the 2 <br />0 <br /> western slope of the existing it. . <br />2 Mine Abase 1, strip topsoil and overburden from 14 <br />4 <br /> phase 2. . <br /> <br />3 Mine phase 2, strip topsoil and overburden from <br />18 <br />1 <br /> phase 3, and reclaim phase 1. . <br /> <br />4 Mine phase 3, strip topsoil and overburden from <br />33 <br />2 <br /> hase 3, and reclaim hase 2. . <br /> <br />5 Mine phase 4, strip topsoil and overburden from <br />29 <br />0 <br /> phase 5, and reclaim phase 3. . <br />6 Mine phase 5, strip topsoil and overburden from 2 <br />7 <br /> phase 6, and reclaim phase 4. . <br /> Mine phase 6, strip topsoil and overburden from <br />14 <br />9 <br /> phase 7, and reclaim phase 5. . <br /> <br />8 Mine phase 7, strip topsoil and overburden from <br />25 <br />7 <br /> phase 8, and reclaim phase 6.

This table is based on a reasonable projection of average production rates. The table <br />shows that mining will occur over approximately 16.0 years. This timeline is based on the <br />maximum annual production of 30,000 tons of gravel. Shale mining will not be a determining <br />factor in production or mine life. <br />Korinek 91 Pit August 2009 D-4
