Previous and current water levels and field parameters are summarized in Section 6 of the <br />Hydrological Report and the analytical data from Monitoring Well W-1 is summarized in <br />Table 3. The analytical data report for the collected sample is included in Appendix A. <br />Lumsden Canyon Seen <br />The Lumsden Canyon Seep (also referred to in earlier reports as Lumsden Canyon <br />Spring) was monitored for field parameters and sampled in June and December of 2008. <br />This location was monitored by Western Water & Land, Inc. during hydrologic <br />reconnaissance required by BLM stipulations to the mine permit. <br />The field parameters are summarized in Section 7 of the Hydrological Report and the <br />analytical data from the Lumsden Canyon Seep samples is summarized in Table 4. No <br />further sampling or field parameter measurement events are scheduled at this time. <br />Rajah 49 Thornton Portal <br />An annual seep survey of the ore zone outcrop, including the Thornton Portal of the <br />Rajah 49 Mine was conducted on June 7, 2010. Low flow, similar to that observed in the <br />Third Quarter of 2009, was observed at the Thornton Portal. The flow rate was estimated <br />based on visual observation. Field parameters were measured and an analytical sample of <br />the flow was collected on June 30, 2010. The field parameters and analytical data from <br />the Thornton Portal were similar in chemistry and water quality to the previous sampling <br />event. <br />The estimated flow rate and measured field parameters are included in Section 8 of the <br />Hydrological Report and the analytical data is summarized in Table 5. The analytical <br />data report for the collected sample is included in Appendix A. Energy Fuels will <br />continue to include the Thornton Portal in future annual seep surveys and collect samples <br />for analysis if discharge is observed. <br />Waste Rock <br />No ore was mined and no waste rock was produced in the Second Quarter 2010. Because <br />the Whirlwind Mine is currently on stand-by status with only maintenance activities <br />being conducted, Energy Fuels has suspended the quarterly waste rock sample collection <br />until such time that mining operations resume and waste rock removal from the mine <br />commences. <br />Production rates of ore and waste rock are summarized in Sections 9 and 10 of the <br />Hydrological Report, respectively. Analytical data from previously collected waste rock <br />samples is summarized in Table 6. <br />Sediment Pond <br />The sediment pond has been monitored since its construction in November 2008 in <br />accordance with DRMS stipulations. Although storm events and significant snow melt <br />events have occurred, none have resulted in stormwater discharge from the pond. As a <br />result, no stormwater samples have been collected from the pond to date. Energy Fuels <br />will continue to monitor the sediment pond for discharge and will collect samples in the <br />event of discharge.
