MINING AND SAFErf
In 2012, Rio Grande Silver (RGS) submitted two Technical Revisions to the Colorado
Department of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (DRMS) for the Bulldog Mine Operation, Permit
No. M- 1977 -215:
A temporary water storage tank and a concrete washout are also now located adjacent to the
shotcrete building (Figure E).
TR -19, Temporary Building at 9360 Facilities Area
On September 4, 2012, DD Log Homes began excavation of the footing and slab area. A 40 -foot
by 40 -foot area was excavated and concrete for the slab and footing was poured into place. On
October 9, 2012 construction was completed when the metal frame was erected and the fabric
cover was secured in place. This building is currently being used to house and protect the
shotcrete machine from winter weather (see Figure A). Three concrete slabs were added to the
outside of the building to provide, clean and accessible entrances into the large bay doors at the
northwest and southeast sides of the building. These concrete slabs have been added to the
Bulldog Facilities map (Figure B).
Additionally, RGS moved seven, 8 -foot by 20 -foot temporary storage containers on site (Figure
C and Figure D). These containers are currently being used for supply storage.
TR -20, Core Logging Building and Access Road
To date, no construction work on the core logging building and access road has been completed.
RGS has contracted a surveying company to begin surveying the location of these facilities.
