RE: Response to Correspondence Dated January 26, 2010, May Day Mine, Permit No. M-1981-185.
Dear Mr. Robinson:
On February 2, 2010, the Division received your correspondence, dated January 26, 2010, addressing the
Division's latest reclamation cost estimation totaling $148,329. In that correspondence, you request that
the Division incorporate the plans proposed in the new 110(2) application for the Mayday Mine and Mill,
File No. M-2010-005, and apply those plans to the current reclamation cost estimation at the May Day
Mine, Permit No. M-1981-185.
The Division cannot implement the plans proposed in the new application until that application is fully
approved. Until that time, the Division must proceed in accordance with the approved reclamation plan
for M-1981-185, which does not authorize on-site disposal of mining related equipment and/or
structures. The issue of whether the site is appropriate for on-site disposal will be resolved during the
adequacy review process for the new application.
Pursuant to Rule 1.4.1(8), the Division is reviewing the application for the Mayday Mine and Mill, File No.
M-2010-005, and will inform Wildcat Mining Corporation whether the application is complete for the
purposes of filing. As stated in previous communications, the application for the Mayday Mine and Mill
identifies Wildcat Mining Corporation as the permitting contact and not R2 Incorporated. Therefore, the
Division will not be communicating directly with R2 regarding the permit application. As previously
requested, if Wildcat desires R2 to act on its behalf as permitting agent for the new application, please
have Wildcat submit a letter of authorization on Wildcat letterhead and signed by James M. Clements,
President of Wildcat Mining Corporation. The unsigned document previously submitted to the Division
does not satisfy the Division's requirements.
