Project Specific Information RequirementB-11 MineSection in ProjectProposal Report42 Discuss the expected life of the mine. Executive Summary, Section2.3, Section 2.443 Describe mine equipment to be used. Section 2.6.744 Does the project proposal involve lake and/or pit dewatering? If so, describe theactivity as well as the construction of water retention facilities if necessary.45 Discuss the possibility of operational changes occurring during the mine life withconsideration for timing. (e.g. open pit to underground)46 If project proposal involves uranium mining, consider the potential for radiationexposure and radiation protection measures. Particular attention should be paid toThe Nuclear Safety and Control Act.B-12 Mill47 If a mill will be operating on the property in conjunction with mining, indicatewhether mine-water may be directed to the mill for reuse.Yes. Sections 2.7.7, 2.7,2.4.4.5, 2.4.5.5Yes, there may beoperational changes. Theoptimal mining methods arecurrently being evaluated aspart of the pre-feasibilitywork, which is expected tobe completed by summer2008.Project does not involveuranium miningSection 2.548 Describe the proposed capacity of the mill. Section 2.549 Describe the physical and chemical characteristics of mill waste as best asSection 2.5possible.50 Will or does the mill handle custom lots of ore from other properties or mine sites? Not considered for thisProjectSection C: Pits and Quarries1 Describe all activities included in this project.• Pitting• Quarrying• Overburden removal• Road use and/or construction (please complete Section A)• Explosives transportation and storage• Work within navigable waters• Blasting• Stockpiling• Crushing• Washing• Other2 Describe any field investigations and the results of field investigations used indetermining new extraction sites.Section 2.8.3.6Section 2.8.2.5Section A of this form iscompletedSection 2.6.5Section 2.4.4Section 2.4.4,Section 2.8.3.63 Identify any carving stone deposits. None have been identifiedso far, but carving stonedeposits will be identified ifencountered in the future4 Provide a conceptual design including footprint. Figure 2.1-3 (location ofopen pits)The potential locations ofborrow material for roadconstruction are currentlybeing evaluated as part ofthe pre-feasibility work,which is expected to becompleted by summer 2008.5 Describe the type and volume of material to be extracted. Section 2.4.46 Describe the depth of overburden. Section 2.4.4, Section 2.7.2
