All personnel <br /> engaged in such site maintenance and reclamation activities report to John <br /> Reeves, the president of Mid-Continent Resources, as is indicated in the permit. <br /> Mid-Continent's worker's compensation coverage was cancelled in January of <br /> 1991, which precipitated the cessation of mining activities by Mid-Continent. <br /> Since that time, Mid-Continent has used the services of several companies, one <br /> of whom is Pitkin Iron, to provide workers to carry out necessary maintenance <br /> activities and reclamation work, as a means to ensure the workers on site have <br /> the necessary worker's compensation coverage.
