P <br />(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: P-2008-018 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 6-15-10 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS GRM <br />The Notice was approved after May 2008 and is considered non-confidential per SB-228. <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This inspection was conducted as part of the normal monitoring program established by the Colorado Division of <br />Reclamation, Mining, and Safety for a Notice of Intent. Energy Fuels representative Jess Fulbright and BLM <br />representative Barney Buria accompanied the inspector on site. <br />Per the Annual Report 12 holes were drilled. All holes backfilled with cuttings, and concrete plugged. Two holes <br />required cat work to establish pads and some minor repairs to existing roads was done in one place. <br />Pads that were established had slash materials, boulders and other debris pulled back across the disturbed sections. <br />Revegetation in these areas notes Indian rice grass, snake weed, wheat grass and some rabbit brush along with other <br />native volunteers. All other holes were on existing historical drill roads or pads. Vegetation of these areas is similar <br />in diversity. The density of the vegetation in most areas is thin as this is only the start of the second growing season. <br />Given the current moisture patterns the vegetation density could improve to the point of being releasable by next <br />spring. Secondary seeding of thin areas this fall is recommended. <br />The sites are stable. No erosion or sedimentation issues were observed. All holes were plugged and no subsidence <br />was noted. Several holes were very difficult to find do to the reclamation. <br />DRMS is satisfied with the earth work reclamation at the Farmer Girl 2. More time is needed for vegetation to meet <br />reclamation standards currently. Please note that DRMS does not have final drill hole abandonment report s for the <br />12 holes. The lack of the reports is noted as an issue of concern and not considered a problem at this time. <br />However, no future release request will be considered unless the reports are on file. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Russ Means at the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and <br />Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 South 3rd Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, phone no. <br />970-241-1117. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Jess Fulbright <br />OPERATOR: Energy Fuels <br />STREET: PO Box 888 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: Nucla, CO 81242 <br />cc: <br />?
