RECLAMATION RIDGE, LLC <br />P.O. BOX 204 <br />GRANBY, CO 80446 <br />(970) 726-8000 <br />September 23, 2009 <br />Mr. Peter Hays <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80213 <br />RE: Reclamation Ridge, <br />Thompson Resource <br />Permit #M-1983-102 <br />Dear Mr. Hays; <br />LLC <br />& Safety <br />- Bond Reduction <br />G C-C, E, uV -.- <br />.- <br />S? <br />r1 „u? <br />.111 <br />0-621 <br />During your April 16, 2009 mine inspection you noted three <br />items that needed to be bonded for. One was to remove the <br />concrete shop building and pad, Task #007; import 650 cy of <br />topsoil, Task #008 and cleanup of the waste asphalt, concrete <br />piles & junk equipment, Task #009. This increased the bond by <br />$35,900.00. The bond was posted and we have now corrected these <br />noted deficiencies and request a bond reduction to better <br />reflect the reclamation needed at the mine now. <br />TASK #007 - CONCRETE PLANT BUILDING DEMO <br />This task involved removing the concrete shop building, the <br />building floor pad and concrete storage bins left by the batch <br />plant operator.

The concrete bins are <br />currently being used and are a valuable asset for our operation. <br />The $1,266 involved with its removal should be left in, as we <br />plan to use the bins until mining ends. This reduces Task #009 <br />by $17,722. <br />TASK #008 - TOPSOIL ACCOUNTING <br />We note that your bond calculation sheet lists placing six <br />inches of topsoil on the seedbeds and floor area. The permit on <br />the other hand was approved for no soil on the floor and four <br />inches in the slopes. This has little impact on the bond <br />calculations since as approved we needed 11,688 yards for the
