We are currently <br />working on incorporating all land affected by our mining operations. In the meantime, we have also <br />received the first engineering report and sets of drawings regarding a possible integrated Sedimentation <br />Control Plan. Unfortunately, this technical solution does not fit Colorado Stone Quarries' future <br />production planning, and does not allow for long-term development of the area. We would like to take <br />additional time to explore further alternatives while keeping in mind that the deadline for board <br />approval is April 30, 2010. Therefore, this is a written request for an extension in an effort to deliver a <br />solution which will be more adequate and valuable for the environment as well as our future operations. <br />Please be assured that we are more than willing to address these issues as quickly as possible. <br />Respectfully yours, <br />Cedric Beggar <br />Director of Operation <br />C8: kgk / C
