Response to DRMS Adequacy Review — Cotter JD -8 Mine Reclamation Plan Amendment <br />Doagy No. 2 claim <br />6 acres in NE1 /4 NW1 /4 Sec 20 <br />5.8 acres in NW1 /4 NE1 /4 Sec 20 <br />0.2 acres in SE1 /4 SW1 /4 Sec 17 <br />Revised Exhibit A <br />Legal Description <br />JD -8 Mine Permit Amendment <br />Response to Adequacy Review <br />M -1984 -014 <br />The portal area for the JD -8 Mine is the old Opera Box mine portal, located at 31423 <br />DD19 Rd, on the north side of Monogram Mesa in Montrose County, Colorado. The JD- <br />8 Mine consists of the C -JD -8 DOE lease tract, the patented Doagy No. 2 claim, and the <br />patented Opera Box claim. <br />Planned affected acreage for the JD -8 Mine is as follows: <br />JD -8 lease tract <br />0.75 acre in NE1 /4 NE1 /4 Sec 19 Vent hole 3 and access road <br />0.30 acre in NW1 /4 NE1 /4 Sec 19 Vent hole 2 and access road <br />0.30 acres in NW1 /4 NW1 /4 Sec 20 Vent hole 1 and access road <br />mine portal, waste dump <br />waste dump <br />topsoil storage <br />Opera Box claim <br />0.3 acres in NW1 /4 NE1 /4 Sec 20 access road <br />The JD -8 portal area is located at <br />N38 13' 55.2" <br />W108 46' 11.1" <br />Currently the planned affected acreage on the Doagy No. 2 and the Opera Box claims has <br />been affected by the current mining operation. The proposed affected acreage on the JD- <br />8 lease tract has not had any impacts from the current mining operation. As a result of a <br />re- design of the lower mine waste dump, it is anticipated that the proposed affected area <br />on top of Monogram Mesa for the mine waste dump and ore storage pad will not be <br />required, but future exploration drilling may locate sufficient resources to require the use <br />of the upper mine waste area and ore storage pad. The Environmental Protection Plan <br />(EPP) that is being submitted as part of this Amendment is being prepared for the <br />affected surface area on the Doagy No. 2 and Opera Box claims, and the proposed vent <br />hole locations on the JD -8 lease tract, and the associated underground mine workings. If <br />the upper mine waste area and ore storage pad is required in the future, an amendment <br />with corresponding EPP will be prepared for this area prior to any disturbance. <br />Page A -10 <br />
