NO. M-81-202 <br />Flag Resources, Inc., Silt Pit <br />Dear Mr. Mount= <br />This Technical Revision is intended to correct and make <br />minor modifications to our Mined Land Reclamation Board Reclama- <br />tion permit for this mine. It will entail making minor changes to <br />the permit and final lake configuration. These changes are a <br />result of what we are finding as mining progresses. This Techni- <br />cal Revision contains four parts discussed under separate headings <br />below. Some are a result of operating method changes we have made <br />and some are necessitated by changes in the direction of mining we <br />intend to pursue as the mine develops. <br />STAGING/PNASING CHANGES <br />we are removing all mining stages and reclamation <br />phases from this operation. when originally permitted the <br />staging was done to keep the bond amount relatively low. <br />However over the past 3 years we have found that moat of the <br />material remaining in the mined area is contained in a band <br />along the river and being restricted in how we develop the <br />mine. Review of the Mining Plan Map (revised 7/99) show the <br />current shape of the lake around the mined area on the west <br />side of the site. We have found that the material is spotty <br />at bast along the south side of the mine. The gravel begins <br />to taper from 20 plus to zero feet deep in a narrow band <br />just south of the old Stage 2 line meaning it is not practi- <br />cal to mined south of the current shore. <br />By removing the stage lines we are able better to <br />utilize the resources left, and develop the mine in a more <br />orderly manner. To do this we will qo to a maximum distur- <br />bance area type of bond. Mining will run clockwise around <br />the area east of the Plant Site. The Mining Plan Map shows <br />where mining will begin on the eastern parcel. We will work <br />north to the river; then along the river until we reach the <br />east line then move south to the road and finally remove the <br />Plant Site. The Plant Site area is on the map to be a <br />
