Peabod <br />X1111 ENERGY <br />July 25, 2011 <br />Peabody Sage Creek Mining, LLC <br />Mr. Jason Musick <br />Re: NOI X- 2007 - 229-00 Final Bond Release <br />Dear Mr. Musick: <br />Peabody Sage Creek Mine <br />PO Box 250 <br />36600 Routt County Road 27 <br />Hayden, CO. 81639 <br />Peabody Sage Creek Mining, LLC. is requesting final bond release for drill sites remaining from <br />NOI X- 2007 - 229 -00. Final release has been granted for all but three holes that, upon <br />inspection, were found to require additional time to re- establish vegetation (sites CC0004, 005, <br />007). Please see excerpt from the inspection report: <br />Based on this inspection, it is determined that exploration holes CC0002, 003, 006, 008, 009, 010, <br />and 011 drilled under NOI 2007 -229-00 have been properly abandoned and the drill sites were <br />adequately reclaimed. All reclaimed exploration drill sites remain stable. <br />It is noted that the drill sites CC0004, 005, and 007 are currently not available for bond release do to <br />further reclamation required. Although these sites have been properly abandoned and graded, <br />revegetation has not achieved a successful standard to approve release of revegetation liability. <br />Enough bond should be held to cover revegetation costs for these 3 sites. <br />Please notify me if you need anything else. Thanks as always for you time and attention. <br />B. Scott Cowman <br />Senior Environmental Specialist <br />Peabody Sage Creek Mining, LLC. <br />
