Cottony <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />The Division of Minerals and Geology received a revision for the Bowie No. 2 Mine. The revision was <br />called complete on Mazch 28, 2005. The decision due date is Apri17, 2005. <br />In Minor Revision No.53, Bowie Resources, LLC is proposing to drill two geotech drill holes in order to <br />evaluate the feasibility of mining a third west longwall panel in the B-seam coal. Both drill sites will be <br />along existing roads so no new roads will be constructed. One drill site is on land owned by the Bowie <br />Resources and the other site is on land managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The two drill holes <br />will be reclaimed. <br />However, because of the immediate need to drill one of the geotech holes, the Division issued a partial <br />approval for Minor Revision No. 53 on Mazch 28, 2005. The partial approval allows Bowie Resources to <br />drill the geotech hole that is on land owned by Bowie Resources and is designated as drill hole B-Burn- <br />24. Bowie Resources will submit another minor revision to obtain drilling permission for the other <br />geotech drill hole, designated as TC-OS-04, that is on BLM land. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />se h J.
