Supplementary Information to <br /> 1984 Annual Report, Climax Mine <br /> March 21, 1985 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Most of the amount allocated for Grading and Site <br /> Preparation at the various areas is for dozer work. <br /> The amount of material to be moved varies from site <br /> to site and calculating the exact quantity in each <br /> case would be impractical . We have made liberal <br /> estimates of the amount of dozer work required in <br /> each area. A D9 dozer with a universal blade can be <br /> contracted , with an operator, for about $1, 000. 00 per <br /> day. Productivity calculations corrected for various <br /> factors such as job efficiency and type of material , <br /> indicate that a D9 dozer can move about 8, 000 yd of <br /> material 140 feet in an 8-hour shift. Area 5, Climax <br /> Camp and Storke Area, will require the most Grading <br /> and Site Preparation of any of the areas . The <br /> $ 150 , 000 which has been allocated for Grading an4 <br /> Site Preparation for this area would move 400, 000 yd <br /> of material and leave $100, 000 for reducing founda- <br /> tions. $150, 000 is certainly adequate to accomplish <br /> the task. Grading and Site Preparation cost <br /> estimates for the other areas are determined in a <br /> similar fashion. <br /> Question 2: Please provide documentation as to how the costs were <br /> derived for "Rock Cap" for each site requiring such <br /> activity ( including amount of material , sources of <br /> material , hauling distance, etc . ) . <br /> Answer: The Climax Reclamation Plan indicates that waste rock <br /> will be used to cap the tailing ponds. The depth of <br /> roc"equired for capping is estimated to be three <br /> feet, )however, the permit allows that depth of rock <br /> to be' adjusted upward or downward as additional ex- <br /> perience is gained. <br /> The Reclamation Plan does not commit to a specific <br /> source , method or route of transporting the rock to <br /> the ponds. At present, we plan to truck the material <br /> to the ponds from McNulty Dump. However, a conveyor <br /> network ( for example) might be less costly, and we <br /> intend to accomplish the task in whatever manner best <br /> suits the circumstances at the time. <br /> The present plans are to construct a haul road from <br /> McNulty Dump , down McNulty Gulch to the tailing <br /> ponds. Table 1 shows all pertinent information used <br /> in deriving the costs of capping the ponds in this <br /> manner. <br />
