Site Visit — August 3` 2011 <br />ARCADIS conducted a site visit to confirm the drilling locations, perform utility <br />clearance, and to collect samples to establish health and safety protocols during field <br />work. <br />Piezometer locations IC -10300 and IC -10370 were photographed during the site visit, <br />prior to their replacement as presented in Appendix A. <br />The existing locations had sufficient access to allow drill rig- access, however minor <br />grading and surface leveling was required to allow access for drilling and well <br />abandonment. The drilling rig and support trucks required a drilling pad approximately <br />40 feet (ft) wide by 120 ft long. The existing locations had space on the benches for <br />the long axis of the drilling pad. At IC- 10300, the bench was widened from 23 ft to <br />approximately 35 ft to accommodate drilling. HMC -Pitch agreed to perform site <br />preparation using a back -hoe. The bench located at IC -10370 had more available drill <br />pad space, and minor grading was performed at that location. No vegetation existed at <br />the drilling locations that would inhibit drilling access, and /or require clearance prior to <br />drilling and abandonment activities. <br />A utility clearance was performed at the site with three lines of confirmation: <br />• HMC -Pitch confirmed that there was no live power, sewer, communications, <br />natural gas, or other utilities onsite anywhere. <br />• Visual inspection of the site grounds revealed no junction boxes, lateral access <br />covers, signage, and /or overhead power lines. <br />• Drilling locations were explored by ARCADIS to a depth of several feet using a <br />shovel. The nature of the material (waste rock) prevented digging deeper. <br />Excavations confirmed that there were no utilities at either proposed drilling <br />location. <br />Radiologic Screening <br />Because the property is a former uranium mine, ARCADIS performed radiological <br />screening during the site visit to assess exposure levels that might be encountered <br />during drilling.
