Gorham <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Re: 2006 Exploration Project (X- 2006 - 223 -07) <br />Additional Information ECM -05 -24 and ECM- 06 -30. <br />Dear Mr. Gorham: <br />The following information presents additional information regarding the subject exploration <br />proj ect. <br />1. The September 16, 2011 inspection report correctly reports that the ECM- 05 -19, ECM - <br />04-34 and ECM -04 -38 are all reclaimed. <br />2. The drilling of ECM -05 -24 and ECM -06 -30 were unsuccessful due to geologic <br />instabilities. Oxbow intends to complete these holes in the future should USFS, IRA (roadless) <br />issues become resolved. Meanwhile the sites have received interim reclamation. Upon resolution <br />of the IRA issues, we will re- submit an exploration license to the Federal agencies for the <br />unleased federal coal. As such, we are asking for partial bond release for all sites under this NOI <br />except 24 and 30. <br />Please contact me at 970 - 929 -5806 if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />James A. Kiger <br />Environmental Manager <br />Attachments <br />Xc: James T. Cooper, OMLLC <br />files <br />• Page 1 <br />
