Explosives <br /> Deserado Mine installed a 4'X4'X4' prefabricated Type II explosives magazine with associated cap <br /> magazine at the explosive storage site. This magazine is for temporary storage of explosives, which <br /> is permitted in the Deserado permit. Deserado Mine has renewed the ATF permit to store explosives <br /> onsite. This permit was noted during the inspection of records and a copy of the permit will be <br /> provided to the Division. <br /> Processina Waste <br /> Refuse Pile - 2/3/4 contained stockpiled refuse to be spread and compacted at the time of the <br /> inspection. Grading appeared to allow good run-off to ponds. Slight downcutting was noted on the <br /> north side of the pile. The downcutting is not substantial at this point, but should be monitored. <br /> Refuse Pile -5 was well compacted and stable at the time of the inspection. Both sites appeared to <br /> show good run-off to the ponds via the collection ditches. <br /> Support Facilities <br /> Surface facilities in and around the office and maintenance facilities appeared to be in compliance. <br /> No problems were noted. <br /> The area around the rock dust tank RDH-2 was stable at the time of the inspection with no problems <br /> noted. <br /> The load out area was stable at the time of the inspection. No problems were noted. <br /> The area in and around the slot storage appeared to be stable at the time of the inspection. No <br /> erosion was noted on the pad or the slopes of the pad at the time of the inspection. <br /> General Mine Plan Compliance <br /> Return Shaft 4 has been completed as permitted. This sight is enclosed in a chain-linked fence with <br /> appropriate signage in place. Casing remains at the sight to be utilized for future drilling activities <br /> under the TR67 and MR142 applications. <br /> Return Shaft 3 was temporarily sealed to aid in the extinguishing of the GOB fire in 2007. This shaft <br /> will be reclaimed in the fall of 2009. The sight will be regarded and topsoiled at that point. <br /> B Vent Shaft 3 continues to seal the space between the annulus and the shaft. The topsoil pile will <br /> require signage and revegetation at the completion of the maintenance operations at this site. <br /> 1 <br /> Return Shaft 4 B Vent Shaft#3 <br />
