The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (DRMS) approved the above referenced Notice of Intent to
Conduct Prospecting (NOI) on June 1, 2009. The approved NOI allows the excavation of a 35 foot long by one foot
wide by two foot deep trench, collection of rock samples from the trench, followed by backfilling and reclamation of
the trench area. The ground disturbing activities approved under the NOI are limited to the trench. DRMS determined
that the $200.00 bond you have provided is adequate financial warranty for reclamation of the trench.
When you and I met at the DRMS office on February 12, 2009, we discussed baseline hydrologic characterization in
the vicinity of your claims that would be necessary to support any future permit application to conduct mining. DRMS
recommends that you provide a sampling and analysis plan for review prior to initial sample collection in order to
better assure that the characterization will meet DRMS criteria. The sampling and analysis plan should describe
proposed sample collection points and their hydrologic relationship to the veins targeted for mining and to surface
disturbances, such as waste rock dumps, that might be associated with future mining. The plan should also describe
sample collection and preservation methods, field measurements to be made during sample collection, such as flow
rate from springs and pH of the sampled water, laboratory analyses to be conducted on the samples, number of samples
to be collected, and approximate schedule for sample collection.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 303-866-3567.
