• the last stages of the operation or otherwise removed from the site. There shall be no remaining material (waste rock <br />and/or ore) on the Crusher Feed Pile, within the Crusher Feed Bin or Crushed Rock Bin, or lying on exposed <br />conveyors. Any waste rock and/or ore that may have spilled around the process equipment shall be removed. Any <br />collected concentrates shall be removed from site, shipped off to the third-party responsible for further <br />refining/treatment. <br />As a pH treatment, hydrated lime shall be broadcast around and underneath all of the locations of the process <br />trailers, conveyors, bins, and concentrate storage areas. The lime shall be broadcast at a rate of 50 pounds per 1,000 <br />square feet of such impacted area. Once broadcasted, a light spray of water shall be applied over the same. This <br />will sufficiently neutralize any trace, potentially acid forming material left behind. <br />Any remaining process water shall be sufficiently drained from the Ball Mill and Concentrating Table circuits of the <br />Ball Mill Trailer and discharged to the Tailings Impoundment, amounting to about 15 cu. ft. (125 gal.). This is the <br />same treated water that has been described ad nauseam in Exhibit C and D and does not pose any harm. It will <br />evaporate rather rapidly. <br />Also, any remaining process water shall be sufficiently drained from the Flotation Cell circuits of the Flotation <br />Trailer and discharged to the Tailings Impoundment, amounting to about 236 cu. ft. (1970 gal.). Again, this is the <br />same treated water that has been described ad nauseam in Exhibit C and D and does not pose any harm. It will <br />evaporate rather rapidly. <br />It is NOT necessary to drain the Water Holding Pond. Any remaining water may be used for fire fighting. This is a <br />remote location and the nearest NFPA listed water source is in Idaho Springs city limits. It shall be noted that on <br />the west end of this small pond a very gradual "ramp" was incorporated so that any errant critters could safely <br />escape. The surface of the shot-crete is rather rough and not slippery when wet. At maximum depth, the water level <br />is 48". <br />• Any containers of oils/lubricants that were previously stored outside, shall be re-located into one of the enclosed <br />trailers or storage units. Any containers of process chemicals (the same ones included within the list of 6.3.3(2)(a) <br />in Exhibit C) may remain stored within an enclosed trailer only after a thorough inspection to determine that there <br />are no leaks. If any of the containers are compromised, the product shall be placed in a new container and <br />accurately re-labeled. <br />All trash and loose debris shall be collected and disposed of in an appropriate manner. No empty containers or <br />buckets shall be left outside to prevent collection of stagnant rainwater. <br />There is no need for any final grading or re-vegetation. This site is fairly flat and contains parked and stored <br />equipment. <br />These reclamation measures are entirely appropriate to restore this property to its current Mining District zoning <br />designation. Clear Creek county currently has the patented mining claims of this property zoned M-1 (mining <br />and/or residential). The segments of property that have been added to these parcels via the BLM land purchase <br />program are, zoned M-2 (mining only). A copy of Clear Creek county zoning regulations are attached at the end of <br />this Exhibit D. It shall be stressed that the only permitted use of M-2 zoned property in Clear Creek county is <br />MINING. <br />Pre-Existing Abandoned Mine Waste Rock Piles: <br />Within the affected area of the Tailings Impoundment there are pre-existing abandoned mine waste rock piles (see <br />maps in Exhibit E for location). This material has been in place for many generations, dating back to the late <br />1800's. It is with every intention Venture Resources Inc. plans to process and render inert this material as <br />previously discussed in the Mining Plan of Exhibit C. <br />However, in the event that these operations are forced to cease prematurely for reasons beyond our control, Venture <br />Resources Inc. shall not be responsible for reclamation of pre-existing abandoned mine waste rock piles that we <br />. have not disturbed during the course of these proposed operations.
