RE: Notice of Intent to Conduct Prospecting Application; Smuggler Gold Mine; File No. P- 2012 -011;
Notice of Deficiencies
On August 8, 2012, the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) received the Notice of
Intent (NOI) to Conduct Prospecting Application for the Smuggler Gold Mine, File No. P- 2012 -011. Our
review indicates the NOI application contains deficiencies as defined by Rule 5.1.3 of the Mineral Rules
and Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for Hard Rock, Metal, and Designated
Mining Operations. The Division requires the information described below before we can approve the
NOI application.
1. On August 2, 2012, the Applicant corresponded with the Division via email. In the correspondence,
the Applicant indicated that no production mining would occur under the NOI as was initially
proposed in the original submittal. Therefore, it is the Applicant's responsibility to provide the
Division with an updated NOI form which reflects the revised project description. Upon receipt of the
revised NOI form, the Division will move forward with the adequacy review.
2. On Page 3 of the NOI Application under Section III — Project Description, the Applicant did not
include a project completion date. Please include this information on the revised NOI Application.
Be advised that if these items have not been addressed within 60 days of the date of this letter (October
15, 2012), the Division may terminate the NOI application in accordance with Rule 5.1.3(c) of the Hard
Rock Rules.
If you have any questions, you may contact me at (303)866 -3567 x8116.
Sincerely,
Michael A. Cdnningham
