Reclamation Feasibility Report - Virginia Canyon <br />• <br />is <br />Reclamation Measures <br />Removal of the waste rock is the preferred reclamation alternative. The mine waste in the stream <br />channel will have to be pushed down to the road for loading. If a disposal site is not available for the <br />waste, the removed material can be consolidated at the original pile location on the east side of the <br />drainage. There is good road access to this site. As another alternative, the mine waste can be <br />removed to the old Doves Nest heap leach site. The removal area will have to be amended with <br />ground limestone and lime before revegetation. <br />Crystal Mine (Sites #23 and #24) <br />Location <br />This Crystal Mine is located in the mainstem of Virginia Canyon approximately 1.2 miles above Clear <br />Creek. This site consists of an adit and stope between the upper and lower roads, a stope in the <br />upper road, and a shaft and two waste rock piles above the upper road. The waste rock pile <br />between the roads was sampled as site #23 (Figures 3 and 19). Site #23 is located at LAT. N390 45' <br />22.4", LONG. W1050 31'30.7". The estimated volume of waste rock at site #23 is 6,900 cubic <br />yards. The adit between the roads was sampled as water quality station DM-4. The waste pile at <br />• the shaft was sampled as site #24 (Figures 3 and 20). Site #24 is located at LAT. N390 45'24.1 41 <br />Figure 18. Doves Nest Mine (Site #67)
