SR -11 Mine <br />Permit No. M -1977 -451 <br />Request for Application Amendment <br />Introduction <br />The SR -11 Mine, also known as the Ike No. 1 Mine, is located approximately 22 miles northeast <br />of Egnar, Colorado. It is owned and operated by Cotter Corporation (N.S.L.) as a 112 <br />Hardrock/Metal Mining Permit No. M- 1977 -451, originally approved by the Mined Land <br />Reclamation Board in October 1977. Cotter is also the lessee of Mining Lease No. AT(05 -1)- <br />ML- 60.8- C -SR -11 issued by the U.S. Department of Energy on April 20, 2008. This lease <br />covers 1,303.22 acres and gives Cotter the right to explore, develop, mine, and remove ore <br />deposits of uranium, vanadium, and associated minerals. <br />The original permit for the Ike No. l Mine was a 110 category permit covering the old Ike No. 1 <br />Mine located in the NW '/4 of SE 1/a of Section 8, T43N, R19W. Reclamation of the original <br />permit area was completed in 2000 and the SR -11 was converted to a 112 category permit to <br />cover the current mining operation located primarily in Section 18, T43N, R19W. <br />Cotter is amending the original permit to comply with the Division of Reclamation, Mining and <br />Safety's request. Under the new rule and regulations for Hard Rock Mining, all uranium mines <br />are classified as Designated Mining Operations (DMOs), and require Environmental Protection <br />Plans. <br />Cotter submits the attached exhibits and maps to provide clarifying information for this request. <br />
