Pursuant to the requirement of Rule 1.13.6 of the Rules and Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land

intention of mining operators to put their mining operation into a state of temporary cessation of mining,
please be advised that Lafarge West, Inc., whose address and telephone number are 101070 Church Ranch
Way, Suite 200 , Westminster, CO 80021; (303) 657 -4000, has filed a Notice of Temporary Cessation with
the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety for the Lyons Pit mining operation. The mining operation
is located at or near Section 22, Township 3N, Range 70W, 6th Principal Meridian, in Boulder County.
The period of temporary cessation may begin on November 14, 2011 and may last for up to five years from
that date. In addition, the operator may request an extension of temporary cessation for another five year
period at the end of the first five years. The notice contains information pertaining to the reasons for
cessation of the mining operation, a plan for resumption, and the measures taken to comply with
reclamation and other necessary activities related to the performance standards of Rule 3 of the Rules and
Regulations in order to maintain the mine in a non - producing or non - development state.
The receipt of the Notice of Temporary Cessation will be acknowledged in the monthly activity report
attached to the agenda of the December 7 2011 meeting of the Mined Land Reclamation Board unless
one or more of the following conditions occurs:
1. Reclamation or performance standard issues are indicated in the Notice of Temporary
Cessation.
2. Such issues are indicated by a field inspection of the mine site.
3. Such issues are indicated by a review of the mining operation file.
4. Concerns are expressed about the Notice of Temporary Cessation by interested persons.
If one or more of the above conditions occurs, the Division will place the Notice of Temporary Cessation
on the agenda for the January 11 2012 meeting of the Mined Land Reclamation Board. During that
meeting, the Board will consider whether or not to accept the Notice. If you have any questions, please call
