Gold Eagle Mining Inc. <br />JD -5 Mine Permit Number M- 1977 -248 <br />Negative effects on ground water resources from mining operations at the JD -5 Mine are <br />expected to be limited by the characteristics of the local and regional hydrogeologic system. The <br />primary source of ground water that could be affected during mining is the Entrada Sandstone. <br />The Entrada is separated from the mining horizon by approximately 100 feet of mudstones and <br />siltstone in the Wanakah Formation and more than 100 feet of mudstones, siltstone and low <br />permeability sandstone of the lower portion of the Salt Wash Member of the Morrison formation. <br />Mineralized Salt Wash sandstone itself is relatively impermeable, displaying no open pores <br />during petrographic examination. The JD -5 Site Stratigraphy and Geologic Cross Sections are <br />shown in Figures 3 and 4 below: <br />6 <br />Environmental Protection Plan -JD -5 September, 2012 <br />
