As discussed yesterday, Battle Mountain Resources, Inc. (AMRI) received an analytical result on
May 7, 2001 from SVL Analytical Laboratory which the Total Dissolved Solid (f DS) reported
concentration of 510 mg/1 exceeded the 500 mg/I TDS Permit Condition Value assigned for the
M-14R Point of Compliance. -I'he Technical Revisions (I'R) IS and TR-32 require specific
actions to be conducted in the event an analytical sample result exceeds a Pertnit Condition Value
as presented in Section 1.2 Reporting of TR-32 and as presented below:
"If any measurement for any Permit Condition Value set forth in Table I-2 falls outside the
concentration range specified for each Point of Compliance, CDMG u711 be notified within five

If results of the first verification sample fall outside the specified concentration range, a second
verification sample will be taken within 2 weeks after receipt of the first verification sample

receipt of the results for the second verification sample.
Under conditions where both verification samples fall outside the specified concentration range of
the Petmit Condition Value(s), BMRI will submit a specific response plan (TR-1i Response
