During the time period of July 1, 2009 to July 1, 2010 there <br />were NO mining or processing activates associated with this permit. No changes have been made <br />to the mining map. <br />The Velarde Pit is located 13 miles north of Walsenburg, CO in Huerfano County. APC <br />Southern Construction Co. has held the permit since August 8, 2005 being transferred from DG <br />Huskin Construction. Per inspection dated 2/1/2010 all activities have remained in the "phase 1" <br />boundaries and NO problems were noted by the inspector. 149 of the 300 total permitted acres <br />have been disturbed. The approximate depths of the mining operations are a maximum of 45 <br />feet, as approved by the mining plan. The phase 1 area is almost mined out and future mining <br />operations will proceed to the south. Stockpiles are located along the north, south and west <br />boundary of the pit. These stockpiles are showing vegetation and appear stable. Reclamation and <br />re-grading activities have occurred on the Northeast corner of the pit. <br />Future mining activities will continue to the south where stockpiling and processing areas are <br />located. Any future activities will follow the guidelines and requirement set forth by the mining <br />permit. All entrances signs and boundary markers will remain intact even during times of no <br />mining activity. <br />If there is any further questions or information requested feel free to contact APC Southern's <br />Mining administrators at the address listed above. <br />T Dekowzan <br />APC Southern :onstruction <br />Project Manager <br />Jim MacDonald <br />APC Southern Construction <br />Vice President
