Pineda <br />Director <br />The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety has <br />issued a proposed decision to Approve Technical Revision No. 62 at the New Horizon Mine. <br />Notice of the proposed decision will be published in the San Miguel Basin Forum as soon as <br />possible. The publication will initiate a ten (10) day public comment period for the Division's <br />decision. <br />A soil Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) was developed to evaluate the properties of undisturbed, <br />stockpiled, and redistributed soils on the Morgan property. This SAP was approved, and <br />incorporated into the New Horizon Mine permit, under Technical Revision No. 61 (TR -61) on <br />November 21, 2011. Sampling of the soils was conducted on November 22, and December 12 - <br />14, 2011. Certain modifications to the approved SAP were made in the field; the application for <br />Technical Revision No. 62 (TR -62) provides formal documentation of the changes that were made. <br />Sincerely, <br />Marcia L.
