J. J. Dudash -2- February 23, 2010 modification to lease D-036955. The lease modification encompasses 160 acres in W/2SE/4 of Section 8 and W/2NE/4 Section 17 in Township 13 South, Range 91 West, 6'h P.M. Permit and Affected Area The affected area will increase 1,170 acres to 5,171 acres (this takes into account the reduction in the area to the north that will not be mined). The permit boundary will increase 2,436 acres. Cultural Resources Appropriate cultural resource surveys have been conducted and are included in the permit in Volume VI. Soils Not applicable, no surface disturbance. Vegetation Not applicable, no surface disturbance. Hydrologic Monitoring The Operator intends to install an additional ground water monitoring well west of Terror Creek, north of the proposed mine plan area (2010-1). The Operator is working with the BLM to obtain approval to install the well through an exploration license application. There are numerous springs and ponds in the west expansion area. Most of the springs and ponds were monitored by the Bowie No. 1 Mine as well as the few streams in the expansion area. Baseline data for the entire permit area is provided. Bond The Bowie No. 2 Mine will assume responsibility for some drill roads and drill sites permitted by the Bowie No. 1 Mine. Bowie No. 1 Mine TR-41 permitted the Terror Creek Section 8 Road and BRL-1-03-01. Bowie No. 1 Mine TR-49 permitted the Pond 7-1 Road, DH-69 Road and drill sites BRL1-08-01 and BRL1-08-04. All of these items except the DH-69 road are within the new Bowie No. 2 Mine permit boundary. The DH-69 road crosses the new permit boundary so part of the road will remain with the Bowie No. 1 Mine permit and part of the road will move to the Bowie No. 2 Mine permit. The bond for Bowie No. 1, TR-41 was $17,704. The bond for the Bowie No. 1 Mine TR-49 was $27,508.85 after adding the credit taken for TR-44. TR-49 had 1.8 miles of road. The Bowie No. 1 Mine keeps 1.2 miles of the road. The Bowie No. 2 assumes 0.6 miles of the road and the two drill holes. The Bowie No. 2 Mine's portion of the TR-49 bond is $22,541 with the remaining $4,968 applicable to the Bowie No. 1 Mine. Therefore the increase in bond for the Bowie No. 2 Mine is $22,672.00.
