4.0 CONCLUSIONS <br />Chart 1 exhibits the results from a direct comparison made between the Phase II Bond Release and <br />reference areas. Perennial cover for the Phase II Bond Release Area, Mountain Shrub and Sagebrush <br />Reference Areas were 58.3 %, 51.4 %, and 42.0 %, respectively. The weighted perennial cover value <br />from the two reference areas is 47.12% (Mountain Shrub and Sagebrush Reference Areas weighted 55% <br />and 45 %, respectively). Finally, the success criterion is 90% of the weighted reference area value or <br />42.4 %. Therefore the Phase II Bond Release Area (58.3 %) is 138% greater than the <br />success criterion (42.4%) resulting in the conclusion that the sampled Phase II area readily <br />passes the ground cover requirement for Phase II Bond Release. <br />Colowyo Mine 19 Phase II Bond Release - 2007 <br />
