be extracted and processed by moving in an southeasterly and northeasterly <br />direction. This phase will consist of 7.5 acres. <br />Following the completion of Phase I, Phase II will progress to the west. This phase <br />will consist of 7.5 acres. <br />e. Proposed mining will begin in the spring of 2010 and is estimated to <br />continue for 15+ years. Depending on the demand for product it is estimated that <br />approximately 1 acre per year would be mined. The beginning elevation of the pit <br />is approximately 8150 and mining will take place in two stages to reach the final <br />elevation projected which is 8110. The first stage will begin in Phase I and go to a <br />depth of 8130. Once the entire portion of Phase I has been mined to that elevation <br />a second stage of mining will begin in the same area down to an elevation of 8110. <br />Upon completion of mining in Phase I the eastern slope will be the first area <br />reclaimed followed by the north and then the south . Once all stockpiles of <br />material are depleted in Phase I and the mining and stockpiling has progressed to <br />Phase II those areas of the pit including the floor will be reclaimed. <br />Phase II will be mined in stages similar to those of Phase I. The first stage in <br />Phase II will be mined to an elevation of 8130 moving in both a northwest and <br />southwest direction from Phase I. The second stage will mine Phase II to and <br />elevation of approximately 8110. <br />PHASE I <br />Year Elevation Disturbed <br />Acres Reclaimed Acres <br />Stage 1 <br />2010 8150 2.0 <br />2011 3.0 <br />2012 4.0 <br />2013 5.0 <br />Stage 2 ° <br />2014 8130 6.0 <br />2015 7.0 <br />2016 8110 7.5 3.0 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Rev 11/20/09
