The bond <br />amount has been set by DMG. <br />Midas Mining, Company Inc. (MMC) has surveyed the Ophir Lode and <br />Ophir MiIT~ Site by,,licensed surveyor. and reconfirmed the <br />original survey so the permitted area is exact. Our permit made <br />provisions that all storm water and any drainage from the mine <br />will be directed to four settling ponds on the permitted area, and <br />no discharge of water will be delivered to Red Cloud Creek or <br />Henson Creek. No ore will be processed on site. <br />Did we understand correctly, if we contain the drainage and storm <br />water on the permitted area, that we are not required to apply <br />for a storm water permit or a NPDES permit. <br />We have permission to refer you to Mr. Bob Oswald, DMG, 701 <br />Camino del Rio, Rm. 125, Durango, CO 81301, Telephone_970 247- <br />5193 for any information regarding the mining permit and Mr. <br />Oswald's on site inspections. <br />Since I reside in Oregon, .please send your reply to Wayne Giesy, <br />Midas Miningg Company Inc., P. 0.
