HISTORY <br />November 14, 2011 <br />vMichael A. Cunningham <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street, Rm. 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />4/ <br />ECEN <br />NOV 17Z011 <br />L Division ui Keclamation <br />Y� Mining and Safety <br />Re: Calais Resources Colorado, Inc., Cross Gold Mine, Permit No. M- 1977 -410 (CHS #60696) <br />Dear Mr. Cunningham: <br />Thank you for your correspondence dated October 31, 2011 (received by our office on November 2, <br />2011) and the documentation regarding the subject project. <br />A search of the Colorado Cultural Resource Inventory database indicates that the Cross Mine (also <br />known as the Cross Lode and Boston and Idaho Tunnels) has been recorded, most recently by staff <br />from the Boulder County Parks and Open Space Department in 2008. While our office has some <br />information related to the Cross Mine site (5BL9655), a comprehensive survey of the mine has not <br />taken place nor has an official determination of eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places <br />(NRHP) occured. We recommend that mining- related activities associated with the increased permit <br />area avoid impacts to historic structures and features within this mine complex until a comprehensive <br />survey can be undertaken to determine the significance and eligibility of the mine for the NKHP. <br />Should human remains be discovered during resource extraction activities the requirements under State <br />law CRS 24 -80 part 13 apply and must be followed. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If we may be of further assistance, please contact Mark <br />Tobias, Section 106 Compliance Manager, at (303) 866 -4674 or mark.tobias @state.co.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />;..1 Edward C.
