This will be followed where practical by topsoil removal and stockpiling. <br />The removal of overburden, consisting of mudstone, shale and some sandstone, will then <br />begin by using scrapers and dozers. For approximately the first year and one half of the <br />project overburden will be removed. It is presently planned that the first ore layers will <br />be exposed and ore removal will begin by using backhoes. The ore will either be <br />stockpiled on the project site or loaded directly into highway trucks for haulage to a <br />processing facility. <br />Ore control monitoring will be conducted by use of Geiger counters, T- probes and a truck <br />scanner. <br />ExhibitD AA---14.(1°L —014 HK <br />Mining Plan �{ <br />JD -7 Mine Permit Amendment 4\M,— <br />M- 1979 -094HR bus,$ 10/1 /( <br />D.2 Earthmoving <br />The mining methods discussed will be accomplished using the equipment listed in Table <br />D.2 -1.
