Dear Ms. Binns:

The letter report represents the Annual Reclamation Report (ARR) for the year 2009 for the Kerr
(Marr) Mine & Loadout site located near Walden, Colorado. The following summarizes site
maintenance and reclamation activities that occurred at the Marr Mine and at the associated
Loadout during the year 2009.
To recapitulate, active mining and related activity was suspended and final reclamation activities
were initiated in early 1993. Final reclamation of most mine disturbance areas was completed
during the period from 1993 through 1996. Disturbance areas reclaimed in 1999 - 2000
included the Loadout Area, a portion of the shop/warehouse facilities pad and the former
powder magazine area, soil stockpile area and associated road. All areas reclaimed in 1999
except the Loadout, were initially seeded to the annual rye mulch crop followed by the
permanent revegetation seeding in 2000. The Loadout was seeded to the permanent
revegetation seed mixture in 1999 and re-seeded with the permanent mix again in the fall of
2000. A final bond release (SL-4) was approved for the majority of the mine area with final
approval effective January 5, 2009. Two small parcels located at the mine were not released
because they were not yet eligible for release. The Loadout site was approved for a Phase 2
Partial Release but is not yet eligible for Phase 3 release. Detail of the bond release follows in
Item 1 of this report.
As part of Kerr's regular site maintenance activities, the surface water control structure at the
Loadout was inspected. Any concerns noted by the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety
(DRMS) in their regular site inspection reports were considered. For certification, the
pond/embankment was inspected by a registered P.E., Mr. Brian Len of NWCC, Inc. of
Steamboat Springs, Colorado during May, 2009. Based on inspection, the surface water control
structure at the Loadout was found to be in good condition.
