(GGI) would like to request an immediate <br />review of the information provided herein which describes a `technical revision to the <br />permit conditions associated with the Golden Wonder Level 6 DRMS permit (Permit No. <br />M-1978-091UG). <br />As we have discussed during numerous conversations, as well as during your May 6, <br />2008 site inspection; we are commencing several activities to further study and delineate <br />the hydrologic balance associated with Level 6. As demonstrated by flow conditions, it <br />appears that there are significant sources to the Level 6 pad waste rock toe seep outside of <br />Deadman Gulch and any underground water draining from the mine itself. Given the <br />water quantity observed in Spring (- 200 gpm), and the water quality conditions (acidic <br />range pH); it is apparent that Deadman Gulch base flows are `disconnected' from this toe <br />seep. Since the toe seep remains in absence of Deadman Gulch flows, it is apparent that <br />another, significantly acidic formation must be lending the flows. In order to study this <br />setting, Gault Group Inc., in coordination with Richmont Mines Inc. have completed the <br />following; <br />2200 E.
