STATE OF COLORADO DIVISION OF RECLAMATION, MINING AND SAFETY Department of Natural Resources On March 21, 2012 the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety approved the Technical Revision application submitted to the Division on February 22, 2012, addressing the following: Construction of new Property Discharge Water Treatment Plant. The terms of the Technical Revision No. 19 approved by the Division are hereby incorporated into Permit M- 1977 -493. All other conditions and requirements of Permit M- 1977 -493 remain in full force and effect. Although the bond for the site will not be increased as a result of TR -19, the wetland mitigation plan and the cost estimate for construction of 0.46 acre of wetland mitigation as described in Section 4.0 of TR -19 are now incorporated into the Climax Mine Reclamation Permit as a mine reclamation obligation. This work will be guaranteed financially by the Climax reclamation performance bond held by the Division. DRMS understands that Climax intends to begin wetland mitigation concurrent with construction activities beginning in early summer of 2012 to avoid temporal loss of wetland functions. In the event that there is a default on completion of the wetland mitigation, the Division is authorized to make a claim against the reclamation bond to ensure that the wetland mitigation is completed as described in TR -19 and as required by the Section 404 permit issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers. If you have any questions, please contact me. Sincerely, ✓Eric C.
