I understand we <br />made several attempts to contact you according to our usual procedures but were not successful. Your work <br />with us to clarify the status of the bond is appreciated. <br />I also appreciate the work of our Minerals Program staff in assisting you in complying with the permit <br />application requirements and our Rules and Regulations. While sometimes azduous, these requirements are <br />designed to reflect both the ability and the responsibility of the permittee in regard to mining activity. Your <br />diligence in that process is appreciated. <br />To expedite completion of this application, I understand that the Minerals Program has waived any additional <br />fees as you expand your permit area from 3.0 acres to the 9.9 acres you thought you had originally requested. <br />With these collective efforts, I believe we aze on our way to a completed permitting process. <br />Thank you again for your diligence in this matter. <br />S' re , <br />Ronald W.
