Dear Mr. Dudash:
The DMG's letter dated March 15, 2004, transmitted its adequacy comments regarding the
referenced technical revision. Following are Bowie Resources Limited's responses to the DMG's
comments and concerns:
7. Page 10 was revised to indicate inspections will be accomplished by a gualified registered
engineer or other qualified professional specialist experienced in construction of earth and
rockfill embankments under the direction of a qualified professional engineer.

perimeter of topsoil stockpiles D & E to separate the topsoil from adjacent collection ditches.

replaced with thickspike wheatgrass and Yellow clover was replaced with Scarlet

17. Page 8, Volume IX, was amended to indicate what diameter of culvert will be used and how
deep the culvert will be buried.
25. The lower D-Gulch will continue to be a surface water monitoring point during mining.
