4. Poppy Harshman, dated April 18, 2010. <br />Ms. Harshman objects on grounds that Wildcat Mining "has a documented history of ignoring <br />directives from all government agencies involved with their mining operation." <br />Wildcat Mining responds that the only government agency which have issued any directives relating <br />to the Idaho Mine are the U.S. Forest Service and DBMS. The U.S. Forest Service directed Wildcat <br />Mining not to use the Forest Service access road leading to the Idaho Mine, and DBMS directed <br />Wildcat not to use the private access road constructed by Wildcat Mining until the road and certain <br />other mining activities were incorporated into an approved mining permit. Since Fall 2009, Wildcat <br />has not violated any government directive, and has worked diligently to obtain a mining permit for <br />the Idaho Mine. <br />5.

Board orders, and that it will comply with <br />all local, state and federal laws. Wildcat Mining is not operating or operating during unpermitted <br />hours.

Dave and Erin Linden, dated April 29, 2010. <br />Mr. and Mrs. Linden object on grounds that the May Day Mine permit amendment application does <br />not include the access road which has been incorporated in to the Idaho Mine permit application, and <br />that Wildcat Mining has disregarded rules and regulations. <br />Wildcat Mining responds that it continues to pursue approval and issuance of its Idaho Mine permit <br />application which includes the access road, and that it has addressed access in its May Day Mine <br />permit amendment application. Wildcat Mining is in compliance with all Board orders, and that it <br />will comply with all local, state and federal laws. <br />7.
