8. Ore Handling <br />All ore generated by mining at the Revenue Mine will be delivered directly to the underground <br />mill. No ore will be stored on the surface. The lean ore pile currently found on site will be <br />excavated for processing in the underground mill at the start of operations. This lean ore pile is <br />approximately 8000 tons and is shown on Map C -1 near the portal and the dry house trailers. The <br />mill will process approximately 80,000 tons of ore per year. Details of the mill process are <br />discussed in Exhibit T and Appendix 7. Concentrate will be packed in super sacs and transported <br />to the surface through the mill tunnel via bobcat or fork lift and hauled off site for direct sale <br />using highway trucks. Tailings produced by the mill will be hauled via off - highway truck to the <br />waste piles. <br />9. Soil Excavation and Stockpile Areas <br />The vast majority of the Revenue Mine is existing disturbance from the historical mining <br />activities that have taken place there. No topsoil was ever salvaged from this past activity. <br />Topsoil will be stripped from any area where it is identified prior to using an area for mining <br />activities. Details of the existing site soils are presented in Exhibit I. <br />Topsoil on site is available from 3 areas: <br />1- the low area where Sediment Pond 2 and Mine water Pond 3 will be located. This is estimated <br />as 12 inches over 1.58 acres = 2,550 cy. <br />2- portions of the Atlas tailings /waste pile. This is estimated as 12 inches over 7.39 acres = <br />11,922 cy. <br />3- small area above existing Revenue Pond where the Revenue Pile will be extended to the <br />south. This is estimated as six inches over 0.5 acres = 806 cy. <br />Therefore, the total salvageable volume of topsoil on site is expected to be 15,278 cy. <br />Revenue Mine August 2012 D -16 <br />
