Our office has reviewed the production bond and concurs with the <br />DRMS reclamation bond amount determination. <br />Natural Mining Soda's current BLM bonding of $1,805,000 is inadequate and needs to be increased <br />to cover the revised reclamation cost estimates and the increased production. The current BLM bond <br />amounts needs to be increased to $1,859,000 to meet the total bonding requirements for Natural. <br />Soda Inc. <br />Attached are the bond calculations reflecting the change in bond amount required. <br />If you have any questions, please call Paul Daggett Mining Engineer at (970) 878-3819. <br />encl
