between ICMI audits, represent sufficient evidence of the operation's good -faith effort to <br />comply with the provisions of the ICMC. Furthermore, no exposures resulted from this <br />deficiency. For these reasons, the auditor initially determined the operation to be in <br />substantial compliance under this Standard of Practice. CC &V took prompt action to <br />remedy the circumstances by updating its inspection procedures and providing worker <br />training, and thus became fully compliant under this Standard by providing evidence <br />demonstrating implementation of the updated procedures and that measures have been <br />taken to prevent future reoccurrences. <br />4.2 Introduce management and operating systems to minimize cyanide use, <br />thereby limiting concentrations of cyanide in mill tailings. <br />The operation is: <br />• in full compliance <br />❑ in substantial compliance <br />❑ not in compliance...with Standard of Practice 4.2. <br />Discuss the basis for this Finding/Deficiencies Identified: <br />This Standard of Practice is not applicable, as the Cresson Project does not use milling <br />processes that generate tailings. <br />4.3 Implement a comprehensive water management program to protect <br />against unintentional releases. <br />The operation is: <br />• in full compliance <br />❑ in substantial compliance <br />❑ not in compliance...with Standard of Practice 4.3. <br />Discuss the basis for the Finding/Deficiencies Identified: <br />The CC &V process facilities (VLF and ADR Plant) operate as a zero - discharge facility <br />and the water balance is a closed system. All process solutions are contained within the <br />PSSAs. Pregnant solutions from the VLF are pumped to the ADR Plant for processing <br />and the ADR circuits process the pregnant solutions and return barren leach solution to <br />the VLF. Nonetheless, under the Discharge Permit for Arequa Gulch, CC &V is allowed <br />to treat water and discharge to Arequa Gulch if extraordinary storm events cause the <br />External Storage Pond capacity to be exceeded. Cyanide is destructed via a hydrogen <br />peroxide injection system in cases where process solution must be transferred from the <br />barren solution tanks or VLF to the External Storage Pond. <br />Cresson Project <br />Name of Mine <br />September 22, 2010 <br />Signature of Lead Auditor Date <br />Page 12 of 36 <br />
