The following is <br />an explanation of the reclamation work done outside of the mining and reclamation <br />permit area at our Hopemore Shaft site, Lake County, Colorado. <br />The attached map shows the location of the Hopemore and Hunter Shafts. The <br />Hunter mine area was mined extensively prior to 1900. Several of the mine workings <br />caved to the present ground surface leaving conical depressions. Two of these surface <br />depressions are just north of the Hunter Shaft. <br />During the underground development of the Hopemore Shaft fifth and seventh <br />levels a moderate quantity of White Porphyry (WP also known as Pando Porphyry) rock <br />was hoisted to the surface. This ban•en intrusive rock is classified as a quartz la[ite, and <br />is inert. WP is commonly present is prospect pits around [he Leadville district. WP <br />doesn't contain any sulfide minerals and is not acid generating. The WP was used to fill <br />two depressions north of the Hunter Shaft. <br />The attached reap shows the locations of the Hopemore and Hunter shafts, permit <br />boundary azea, and the two reclaimed areas (at the top to the map). <br />If you have any questions please call me at 719-486-3000. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />Scott Hazlitt, <br />Mine_Marrager <br />
