INTRODUCTION <br /> Sunnyside Gold Corporation (SGC) proposes to <br /> extract gravel from waste rock piles or talus in the <br /> Sunnyside Basin for use as road rock in the Terry <br /> Tunnel . A considerable volume of loose waste rock from <br /> previous mining operations and the Lake Emma diversion <br /> channel exists in the Sunnyside Basin, and is suitable <br /> for road base. The Sunnyside Basin is an alpine cirque <br /> located in a suspended survey area of San Juan County, <br /> Colorado. (Latitude approximately between 37 53158" <br /> and 37 54 ' 18" , Longitude approximately between 107 <br /> 37 '00" and 107 3614511 .) <br /> By means of a portable screening plant , oversized <br /> and fine material will be separated from the roughly <br /> 3/4" to 2" fraction for use as road surfacing material . <br /> This material will be placed from the Terry Tunnel 7 <br /> Portal into the tunnel to approximately the F Level <br /> shop . The work is being undertaken to convert from 1, fi <br /> rail to rubber tire access to the Sunnyside Mine via <br /> the Terry Tunnel . 2 <br /> Gravel screening operations and access from County �v <br /> Road 25 will take place exclusively on disturbed rock <br /> dump areas and talus slopes. These areas currently do <br /> not support a vegetative growth , and no topsoil exists: <br /> therefore, none will be removed prior to operations. <br /> -1- <br />
