RE: Powderhorn Project Exploration Drilling Program, Notice of Intent, No. P- 2011 -024,
Completeness and Approval.
Dear Mr. Schifrin,
The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (Division) received your Notice of Intent (NOI)
to conduct prospecting operations on July 26, 2011. A review of the Notice application noted
deficiencies that were addressed by Minex. On September 19, 2011 the Division calculated a
reclamation liability estimate for the project of $8,225.00. The estimate was forwarded to the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) for their review and concurrence. On September 26, 2011 BLM notified the
Division of its concurrence. Minex was notified that the last deficiency of the notice was the posting of
the financial warranty of $8,225.00.
On October 4, 2011 Minex submitted the proper financial warranty to the Denver Division Office.
Therefore staff is pleased to inform Minex that the NOI is considered complete and approved. Minex
may proceed with the project provided all other approvals have been issued. Please remember that the
estimate is based on each hole and pad being reclaimed prior to the drilling of the next and special
requirements if groundwater is encountered.
If you need additional information please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety,
Grand Junction Field Office, 1015. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, or by telephone
no. 970.241.1117.
Sincerely,
G. Russell Means
