However, most rock mechanics <br />problems are data limited, and the analytical techniques used by MTI have many limitations that cannot take into <br />account all unknown variability in geologic conditions. Assessments of the stability of mine openings and the face <br />presented in this report, are opinions based on comparative analyses of limited data, and do not present predictions <br />of mining conditions. Localized instabilities hazardous to mine personnel can occur at random in any underground <br />opening and cannot be predicted in advance of mining. Identification and control of local instabilities are the <br />responsibilities of the BRL. MTI makes no warranty or guarantee as to the safe outcome of the use by BRL of any <br />data, recommendation, suggestion, discussion or consultation provided by MTI. <br />Other supporting data and information relied upon during the course of this investigation and used in preparation of <br />this report was provided by BRL and other subcontractors including geologic data, rock mechanic tests, stress <br />measurements published reports and literature and personal communications with BRL staff. MTI makes no <br />representation or warranty of the accuracy of the data used in preparation of this report. <br />is <br />Maleki Technologies, Inc. Page 6 <br />
