Giesy Feb. 20, 2010 <br />Midas Mining Company Inc. <br />PO Box 772 <br />Philomath OR 97370-0772 <br />Dear Wayne, <br />As requested I reviewed the draft Technical Revision (TR-01) Weed Control Plan for the Ophir <br />Lode Permit M2001-063. <br />Item 3 describes the type and amount of chemicals that will be used to control noxious weeds <br />Canada thistle and Yellow toadflax. On the ground evaluation will play a big part in the <br />selection of the most appropriate chemical to use for control. Any chemical used will be in <br />accordance with its label. <br />Chemicals we plan to use are: Milestone at a rate of 7 Oz/Acre for control of Canada thistle. <br />Yellow toadflax is a tougher deal. We treat a lot of it each year and the favored mix is Tordon <br />22K at 2 Quarts/Acre mixed with Telar at 1 Oz/Acre. These are the two chemicals <br />recommended by Dr. George Beck at CSU and the ones we have had the best success with. <br />Neither of the two plants will likely be eliminated with one season's treatment, or perhaps even <br />brought under control. Our company is prepared to do continue treatment for as long as <br />necessary and requested. This will also include monitoring to determine progress toward <br />elimination as requested by the State of Colorado in their letter of Jan. 13, 2010. <br />I have enjoyed visiting with you on the phone and look forward to meeting, and working, with <br />you on the ground this summer. <br />J.
