chemical/reagent storage area. Any leakage, or containment issues with the laboratory chemicals <br />or reagents is directed to the mill sump and then to the TSF pond. <br />The office /safety /training /change house facility is an extension of the existing grinding, flotation <br />building. Located on the eastern side of the building, the extension is 12 ft wide by 30 if long <br />within the existing disturbed area. The extension houses an office, bathroom and change room. <br />The concentrate storage room is also an extension of the existing grinding, flotation building. <br />Previously located on the east side of the grinding/flotation building in the southeast corner, the <br />24 ft by 20 ft extension is now located at the southwest corner of the grinding /flotation building <br />immediately adjacent to the mill sump. The concentrates will be placed in 2 ton super sacks for <br />truck shipment. The concentrate storage room is located entirely within the existing disturbed <br />area adjacent to the existing building. <br />An additional new crushing facility immediately north northwest of the existing crushing <br />building allows for selective ore handling and storage is scheduled for construction within the <br />next 18 months. The facility is a 30 ft by 60 ft concrete storage pad with enclosed crushing <br />facility and a 1000 ton storage silo. The storage silo feeds an enclosed overhead belt, conveying <br />the crushed material directly to the grinding/flotation building, by- passing the existing crushing <br />facility. This dual feed system of crushed ore allows selective blending of problematic ores <br />and /or campaigning of ores that require different reagent concentrations. <br />The milling facilities site was originally selected because the site provided a suitable tailings <br />disposal area, protection from strong winds to prevent airborne migration of dust from the <br />tailings disposal area, proper soil conditions for construction purposes, and isolation from <br />inhabited areas and heavy traffic. <br />Also considered was the proximity to electric power, water accessibility, natural gas, and haulage <br />distance from the mining district. <br />The mill site is located in a heavily - wooded area on the lee side of an east -west trending hill <br />which affords maximum protection from the normal prevailing wind from the northwest. The <br />mill maintains a minimum cleared area to afford a good firebreak distance around the buildings, <br />roads and tailings disposal area. <br />The nearest inhabited buildings to the mill permit boundary is a house located about 400 ft. <br />northwest, a house located approximately 800 ft West and a house located approximately 350 ft <br />West. <br />M1990 -057 September 27, 2011 <br />
