As agreed during the field inspections, the Operator <br />was to attempt weed control measures as soon as possible. Unfortunately, adverse weather <br />precluded spraying for weed control during October or early November. Frequent and <br />persistent high winds prevented the Operator's field personnel from safely and effectively <br />applying necessary herbicides. <br />INTERNATIONAL <br />URANIUM ~USA~ <br />CORPORATION <br />~F~~'~~~ <br />Wheri the seasonal winds diminished, a hard freeze followed. The knapweed plants are now <br />closed and desiccated, and consequently, application of herbicide would not be effective this <br />season. The Operator will monitor the noted infestations and spray for noxious weed control <br />as soon as practicable next spring. <br />Please let us know if you have any questions. International Uranium (USA) Corporation's <br />Denver office can be contacted at 303-628-7798 for the foreseeable future. <br />Sincerely, <br />,~v~~° <br />Terry V.
