December 3, 2009 <br />CO Division of Reclamation, Mining & Safety <br />1313 Sherman St, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Subject: Venture Resources' Hukill Gulch Millsite Application <br />Dear DRMS Board and Staff: <br />I am writing; support to show my s for Venture Resources' proposed operation, the HUM Gulch Millsite project. <br />As a Colorado resident, I am pleased to see renewed hardrock metal mining activity in Clear Creek county. In <br />today's troubled economy, homegrown business and industry .xilI help our local economies. Mining in this area <br />carries a long tradition; a tradition that ultimately brought Colorado into statehood. This year marked the 150' <br />Anniversary of the discovery of gold in Clear Creek County. <br />I am familiar with Venture Resources' project, and am specifically aware that: <br />• A mineral processing mill and tailings impoundment is proposed. <br />0 The project will be processing abandoned mine waste rock. <br />O This is a local company that plans on hiring local residents and supporting local businesses. <br />By processing abandoned mine waste rock and removing the acid forming and heavy metal con taminant s, the <br />proposed project will go a long way to beginning to improve the conditions of the Clear Creek. watershed. Finally, a <br />pro -active , solution instead of the current ones that do little, or nothing. Covering up the problem or just spending <br />tax dollars studying it does not solve the problem. <br />I would like to encourage the DRMS to proceed, without delay, in approving the permit for this proposed operation. <br />/ ��,�� <br />Sincerely,c � <br />Printed: i Ltd / , / , ' 11m Qi <br />Address: c7` /IC CO /O Roa V� <br />s� /' I ► <br />
