Mined Land Reclamation Board. <br />Sincerely, <br />Patricia Etters <br />My name is Patricia Etters. I live in the City of Victor, Colorado and <br />am employed by the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mine (Anglo Gold) in <br />Victor Colorado. I've been employed at this mine as a security guard <br />for eight -plus years. My father was employed here for over twenty <br />years and has since retired. Our employer provides us with excellent <br />wages and health care. <br />I understand that an application has been submitted for our mine <br />expansion project. This expansion will allow us to continue to operate <br />for many years to come. Without it, we will be forced to close down <br />operations in the near future. I ask that you please approve this <br />expansion. If our mine closes down, approximately 300 people would <br />be without jobs. We are active in many community affairs and causes, <br />everything from financing additions to the schools in Cripple Creek to <br />establishing an employee volunteer program to deliver free firewood to <br />elderly or indigent people of the community. The City of Victor would <br />suffer as well, since it's main source of revenue is the selling of water <br />to our mine. If we were to close, thousands of people in the <br />community would suffer. <br />Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mine has always been compliant with <br />State and Federal Regulations. We never compromise safety, health <br />or the environment. In fact, our mine has won recognition for it's <br />safety record and reclamation achievements. <br />I am asking you to approve our expansion project. Please don't shut <br />down our mine! <br />'VED <br />MAY 0 9 2008 <br />Ln tSivf wC��inatl011, <br />Mining and Safety <br />
