OBSERVATIONS <br />PERMIT #: P- 2009 -033 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: RCO <br />INSPECTION DATE: November 30, 2011 <br />This was a financial warranty release inspection conducted by the Division for a minerals prospecting project <br />(NOI). The prospector had reported that all reclamation had been completed. The release request included a <br />map and recent photos, showing clean -up and reclamation of the four drill sites involved in the project. The <br />prospector was not present during the inspection. The project was located on private land, and the BLM was <br />not involved in the project review or reclamation. <br />The four drill pads, located along short spur trails in the juniper -oak scrub, were located and identified at the <br />project site. All drill holes had been closed and the pad surfaces graded. There was no drilling - related debris <br />or contaminants. All cuttings and drilling mud were removed. Some brush and rocks had been respread on <br />the trails and drill pads. Revegetation consisted of seeded grasses that have become established, plus other <br />native vegetation that was resprouting throughout the sites. Revegetation was sparse, but adequate since it <br />corresponded overall to the thinly vegetated surrounding area. <br />There was no evidence of uncontrolled runoff or sedimentation, or of weediness on the disturbed surfaces. <br />Numerous wild turkey tracks were observed on several of the drill pad sites. <br />It is this inspector's opinion that the prospector has fulfilled all reclamation requirements as described in the <br />NOI plan, and that the release request should be approved. A formal approval letter and the returned bond <br />will be sent to the prospector under separate cover. <br />For questions related to this report, please contact this inspector at the Division's Durango Field Office: <br />DRMS — Durango Field Office <br />691 CR 233, Room A -2 <br />Durango, CO 81301 <br />Tel: 970 - 247 -5193 <br />Inspection Contact Address: <br />Michael Leidich <br />Colorado Plateau Partners LLC <br />2030 Foothills Dr. <br />Golden, CO 80401 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
