PHASE ONE <br />In phase one we plan to pick and sift through old pre existing rock dump sites. We <br />will push the dead rock material back into the large pre-existing pit, also referred to <br />as the big room. This will be on going reclaiming project, until the area is filled back <br />to its surrounding topography. As this pre-lawed pit was an area that was worked <br />on for many years by previous owners. <br />PHASE TWO; <br />We will prospect and explore an existing slot that is 20 feet wide by 30 feet deep on <br />the southern part of the prospect area (photo attached). We may extend and.widen <br />it. If we find a turquoise vein, we may use the excavator to dig and expose the area. <br />We may drill and blast if necessary. The work area will be approximately 1/10 of an <br />acre MIL. Over burden will be stock piled adjacent to the mouth of the prospect <br />area. The area is big enough to adequately stockpile overburden that we <br />temporarily remove. We will stabilize the overburden stock pile to avoid sediment <br />transport to the hill slope below. Any areas that we may disturb will be backfilled <br />and pushed back up against the hill to its natural contours to be compatible with the <br />surrounding topograph. When prospecting is completed we will back fill all the <br />waste rock to the bench and the floor of the hilL We will push it up against the <br />lower wall using a surface grade of 3-1. If seeding is required we will spread rabbit <br />bush seed after reclamation is completed. No compacting is anticipated. <br />Both Phases will not be active at the same time. We will limit one phase after the <br />other. <br />PROPOSED OPERATION: <br />We plan to begin our operation May 24, 2010. It will be on going as a seasonal <br />operation for approximately two years of proposed date of commencement. <br />The proposed operation is going to be casual, prospecting and exploring. The work <br />will mostly be done with picks and rakes and shovels in order to explore the areas <br />for sampling. <br />A Drott track hoe and a one ton truck may be used in selected areas. The track hoe <br />may be used to move and scrape the dead rock material to refill the large pit and <br />trenches. The track hoe will remain at the mine site as long as we are prospecting <br />and working at the mine site. It would not be cost effective to move this piece of <br />equipment out on a daily basis. We will remove the track hoe when we are not <br />working at the mine site, which will be on a seasonal basis. The inoperable <br />bulldozer that is currently at the mine site belongs to Manassa resident Richard <br />Martin. He has been notified to remove it immediately, as it is not operable or <br />pertinent to our operation. <br />SAFETY HAZZARD MITIGATION:
