SUMMARY NARRATIVE: While the OMLR permit was approved 17 July 2011, Operations did not commence until
apx. February 2012; opening extraction in Tract B, while clearing the effects of the previous owner in Tract A, to make
the ground suitable for establishment of plant site operations and related product stockpiles. All lands contained within
the extraction limits of Tracts A and B are presently affected. Soils salvaged from both locations are stockpiled along the
most southern extent of Tract A. In 2013, extraction moved into Tract C. Dry plant operations are active in Tract A,
while materials requiring wet plant operations are taken via internal access roads to the adjacent Durham operation M-
1978 -056 for processing. Reclamation of Tract B should advance in 2013 -14 upon approval of a forthcoming Technical
Revision providing for the lining of completed basins.
