This program utilizes the EPA's preferred method of removing heavy metals from the dump <br />material (reference' Virginia Canyon Reclamation Feasibility Study"). We continue to believe that this is a <br />superior method when compared to others, le oovering/capping or relocation,. <br />Our process involves both gravity and flotation methods to remove the heavy metals from the host waste <br />rock. In doing so, the heavy metals are concentrated, removed and sold as a product to other parties. <br />This process will be ultimately used to cleanup over 200,000 tons of this material located on our private <br />property. If this process is as effective as we believe, we envision this as the solution of choice for the <br />remaining dumps in the area. Using this process, significant costs are recouped through the sale of the <br />concentrates. <br />As of late, we have been working with Doug Ikenberry with the Solid Waste Div. of the CDPHE to develop <br />a solid waste disposal impoundment for our cleaned process tailings. We have mobilized a small <br />processing mill and are close to completing the tailings impoundment, Upon the completion of a technical <br />review by the CDPHE and the submittal of a Financial Assurance Instrument for reclamation measures, <br />we will be ready to immediately begin processing our dumps. <br />We would like to schedule a meeting at our facility this week with all parties, together or individually (Clear <br />Creek County, CDPHE Solid Waste, CDPHE Hez. Mat'I, and EPA), to review our progress and discuss <br />future opportunities to work together to cleanup the prolific sources of acid mine drainage and heavy metal <br />contamination In the Virginia Canyon vicinity. <br />Attached you will find our company's Mission Statement. W4 are committed to this as is evidenced by our <br />substantial Investment of both time and money, as we are certain you will realize upon inspecting our <br />facility. <br />Consider our schedule open. Please email me with possible meeting times. <br />Patrick Maher , President <br />Venture Resources, Inc. <br />PO Box 1074 <br />Idaho Springs, CO 80452 <br />P:,(239) 537.1420 <br />F: (303) 484-8389 <br />Please visit us at www.ventureresourOeSine.corn <br />
