Relationship to Charles Ager
Employee of CGC, Mr. Dall signed BLM Plan of Operations, N-66542,
submitted on April 5, 2001 as Operator (Authorized Official). An
attachment to the Plan of Operations is a letter dated April 17, 1996
Address to Andrew L. Dall, Cactus Mining Corporation, from
Analytical Materials Laboratory, Santa Barbara, California
Shannon L. Dall is believed to be the spouse to Andrew L. Dall. When
Chatterton interviewed Gordon Ellis concern the location of Andrew
Dall he was also asked about Shannon Dall and Mr. Ellis indicated that
she was his spouse. Internet searches also link Andrew Dall and
Shannon Dall to the same addresses.
The specific relationship of Charlton to Charles Ager is uncertain
however, the Mineral ~iaminers believe there is a-family tie. He signed
the quitclaim (see Appendix 21, page 22) at the same time, using the
same notary, that Carol Ager and Caroline Ager signed their quitclaims
in Whatcom County, Washington.
Caroline is a daughter to Charles Ager, U.S v. Pass Minerals, Kiminco,
Inc., Pilot Plant, and K. Ian Matheson, Office of Hearings and Appeals
Docket No. 66052. Tr. v. 20:3514
Carol is the spouse to Charles Ager, U.S v. Pass Minerals, Kiminco,
Inc., Pilot Plant, and K. Ian Matheson, Office of Hearings and Appeals
Docket No. 66052. Tr. v. 20 3515
Uncertain relationship to Mr. Ager.
Employee of CGC when the Mineral Examiners visited the CGCNGC
mill on June 18,2003 we were introduced to George Steven, IV. The
Mineral examiners were specifically informed that he was the son of
George Steven and Kathleen Stephen. BLM was informed that George
Stephen, IV's relationship with CGCIVGC ended during the 1" half of
calendar year 2004.
Kathleen acted as an employee of Mr. Ager, Mr. Roe, and Mr.
Matheson when she was-the agent for locating a portion of the 170
placer mining claims located in 1993. While the mineral examiners
have no direct evidence to her employment by CGC or VGC, BLM's
routine contact with individuals associated with the CGCIVGC
operations included Ms. Stephen. Ms. Stephen's relationship to the
CGCNGC operations appears to have ended during the calendar year
2002.
A review of the payment of location and maintenance fees up to the time of transfer of
interest to CGC shows that Mr. Matheson, through Pilot Plant, Inc., paid all the fees for the 170
placer mining claims. This included the payment of the maintenance fees on August 12, 1996,
the same day Pilot Plant, Inc. transferred its interest to CGC, controlled by Mr. Ager. (See
Appendix 21, pages 7 through 10.) There is no evidence that other association members
contributed to the payment of maintenance fees.
