RECLAMATION TIME FRAME <br /> Sunnyside Gold is currently conducting mining feasibility studies <br /> and an exploration program in Sunnyside Basin. Mining activity <br /> for the summer of 1989 is now being planned and is anticipated <br /> for the summer of 1990. Sunnyside Gold anticipates reclamation <br /> of Lake Emma to begin in 1992 . However , we would like this date <br /> to be flexible depending on the results of the exploration <br /> program. <br /> It is the opinion of Sunnyside Gold that the environmental impact <br /> of mining activity in the Basin will be minimized by the presence <br /> of the lake hole since it provides space for waste disposal . <br /> Because of this , we feel that permanent waste disposal and <br /> reclamation of Lake Emma should follow completion of mining in <br /> the Basin. In addition to this , one of the ore bodies being <br /> studied for possible mininq is the pillar directly adjacent to <br /> and east of the lake hole. Reclamation of the lake will make <br /> mining of this pillar impossible. <br /> As calculated , there is currently a 53 , 000 cubic yard deficit in <br /> material available to reclaim Lake Emma. Sunnyside Gold believes <br /> that this material will be produced through future mining <br /> activity. If the exploration program does not prove any new ore, <br /> reclamation of Lake Emma will begin no later than the summer of <br /> 1992 , and any shortage of material will be made up of ma :r;rial <br /> excavated from borrow areas . Until this time, Sunnyside Gold <br /> - 13 - <br />
