Box 177 .Silverton, CO 81433 Phone (303) 387-5533 .Telecopy (303) 387-5310 November 25, 1997 Mr. Wally Erickson Division of Minerals and Geology Department of Natural Resources 484 Turner Drive, Bldg. F, Suite 101 Durango, C O 81301 RE: File No. M-77-378, San Juan County Bond Reduction Request and Permit Area Reduction Request Dear Mr. Erickson: Sunnyside Gold Corporation (SGC), after reviewing ML R permitted acreage, reclamation progress, and existing bond, has concluded that; 1) the permit acreage should be reduced because some acreage has not been and will not be disturbed and these areas will not be needed for operation in the future. 2) some acreage may be eligible for release due to successful implementation of the reclamation plan and if not, S G C needs to know any deficiencies so they can be corrected. 3) the cost of completing reclamation will be significantly lower than the bond amount due to reclamation plan implementation from 1991 to the present without a corresponding bond reduction for work completed. The bond should be lowered to reflect the actual completed work. Therefore, SG C submits this request for permit acreage reduction, acreage release due to successful reclamation according to the reclamation plan, and reduction of bonding requirements to reflect the actual remaining costs of site reclamation. Attached are revised Exhibit A - Legal Description, Exhibit L - Reclamation Costs sections of Permit M-77-378 that reflect the requested changes and area maps showing existing permit boundaries and proposed boundaries. These are the only permit sections affected by this submittal. Following is an area by area summary of; 1) requested acreage reduction. 2) description of activity creating disturbances to be reclaimed. 3) completed reclamation. L AK E E M M A / SUNNYSIDE BASIN Proposed acreage changes: ( see attached land map for detail) Existing Permit Acreage 215.33 Permit Area Reduction Proposed 148.83 Proposed Permit Area 66.50 Most of the permit area reduction involves undisturbed land. The exception being the borrow area slopes on Bonita Peak and the reclaimed roadway northeast of the Lake Em m a hole. Activity: This site was included under the Permit in AM-002 (1987). Inclusion under the permit was deemed necessary due to the surface disturbance created by the pre- Sunnyside (1978) collapse of Lake Em m a into the underground mine workings and S G C ’s desire to mine remaining ore in this area. Prior to the collapse, all disturbances in this area were historic and pre-law. Gravel extraction for use as road base material was permitted under TR-02 (1987). The source was in the “Washington Vein” area later disturbed further as part of the Washington pit and Washington Vein underground mining projects. In 1988, open pit mining on vein surface outcrops was included under the permit (AM-003). This amendment was written to cover all of the Sunnyside Basin area. Actual activity only occurred on two small outcrop areas, the “Washington Vein” pit and the “Sunnyside Vein” pit. In 1989, several near surface ore blocks were permitted for mining from underground with access by portaling in from surface in Sunnyside Basin (TR-07). These access portals were on the “Washington Vein”, “Sunnyside Vein”, and “No- N a m e Vein”. The “No-Name Vein” underground mining utilized an existing portal. The portals were the only surface disturbances resulting from this project. Reclamation: The surface portals created for the underground mining project were backfilled and the old wagon road used for access to the No-Name portal was reclaimed and planted. Backfilling of the Lake Em m a hole and contouring of the areas disturbed by the activities listed above according to the reclamation plan was completed in 1991 and 1992 with the exception of placement of a clay cap over the Lake Em m a collapse area. This work was not completed because of anticipated fill material settlement. Ice, that was in the hole when it was filled, was expected to melt from increased ground temperatures, causing a surface subsidence as the fill material filled the void left by the melted ice. This predicted subsidence has occurred annually since 1991 and each year, the surface subsidence has been filled back to grade with material stockpiled for this purpose. When this fill stabilizes, the lake sediment cap material can be placed for reclamation plan completion. All contoured areas have been planted with the high altitude seed mix approved for this area and while establishment of vegetation at this high altitude site has been slow, it is now fairly well established with minimal signs of erosion. Remaining reclamation required for this site, includes capping of the subsidence area with lake sediment material and overburden material after the area ceases to subside and grade can be established to allow the area to drain towards the former outlet of Lake Emma. TERRY TUNNEL Proposed acreage changes: (see attached land map for detail) Existing Permit Acreage 7.12 Permit Area Reduction Proposed 0.00 Proposed Permit Area 7.12 Activity: This site has seasonal access due to its location. During operations, it was used for a secondary escapeway, ventilation, seasonal usage to take larger supplies and equipment underground, and for seasonal treatment of mine drainage water. After active mining stopped in 1991, the area was used similarly until placement of the tunnel bulkhead in 1994 and subsequent valve closure in 1996 as approved in T R - 014 and the reclamation plan for the area. In 1996, the area was used for mixing and pumping of alkaline material into the mine pool through the bulkhead (TR - 019). Reclamation: Refuse and trash has been removed from the site or buried on-site. Some of the slopes have been regraded, amended with limestone and/or topsoil, and seeded with the alpine mix. Vegetation is starting to become established on some of these slopes. The mine waste dump in Eureka Creek was graded so that the creek could flow freely without backing up against the historic waste dump. The tunnel bulkhead has been placed to prevent mine drainage from flowing to surface via the tunnel. Pond removal, portal backfilling and final site contouring remains to be completed at this site. Upon determination that water treatment at this site will not be required in the future, these items can be completed for final site reclamation. EUREKA STAGING AREA This area was released from the permit area in 1994. A corresponding bond reduction was not requested. AMERICAN TUNNEL Proposed acreage changes: (see attached land map for detail) Existing Permit Acreage 28.01 Permit Area Reduction Proposed 5.96 Proposed Permit Area 22.05 Activity: The American Tunnel site, during operations, served as the main entry into the Sunnyside Mine workings. Ancillary surface facilities included warehouse and office facilities, change room, maintenance shops, ore storage area, waste dump, and water treatment facilities. After operations ceased in 1991, these ancillary facilities were reduced to the level required to provide support for reclamation activities and water treatment. After construction of the American Tunnel bulkhead in 1995 and subsequent valve closure in 1996 (TR - 014), a diversion was constructed to facilitate diversion and treatment of Cement Creek for an interim period of time while performing projects in the Animas River Basin (TR - 019). This interim treatment of Cement Creek is a condition in the voluntary Consent Decree agreement between Sunnyside and CD P H E - W Q C D (TR-014). The Consent Decree agreement was entered into to expedite final reclamation by providing a way, other than through legal proceedings, to address W Q C D ’s objections to the reclamation plan which uses bulkheads to block drainage pathways from the Sunnyside Mine, allowing an end to water treatment and reclamation of the facilities required for water treatment (A M - 002 and TR - 014). Reclamation; Surface facilities have been reduced and all ore stockpiles removed. The mine waste dump has been removed as well as thehistoric tailings that were under the waste dump and the area contoured and planted. The historic tailings pond within the permit area was removed and the area revegetated. The Cement Creek bank slope through the upper portion of the permit area has been stabilized by resloping and placement of rip-rap material. The American Tunnel bulkhead was constructed in 1995 and its valve was closed in 1996 to eliminate drainage through the American Tunnel from the area of the Sunnyside Mine workings (TR - 014). MAYFLOWER MILL AND TAILINGS AREA Proposed acreage changes: (see attached land map for details) Existing Permit Acreage 208.80 Permit Area Reduction Requested 60.82 Proposed Permit Area 142.98 Activity: The Mayflower Mill is a historic mill built in 1928 and operated by Sunnyside Gold Corporation from 1986 through 1991. The active tailings facility during this period of operations was Tailings Pond No. 4. Water treatment sludge generated from operation of the Terry Tunnel and American Tunnel water treatment plants were placed in Tailings Pond No. 3 until 1992 when the deposition site was changed to Tailings Pond No.4 (TR - 012). In 1994, an interpretive sign area was constructed for public education on mine reclamation. It was located on an overlook area in the vicinity of Boulder Creek and Tailings Pond No. 2 (TR - 017). In 1995, the historic Mayflower Mill and old Powerhouse areas were deeded to the San Juan County Historical Society for preservation and conversion of the mill to a museum and public tour facility (A M - 004). Reclamation: Tailings Pond No. 4 In 1989, the method of depositing tailings into the pond was changed to increase stability and allow for reclamation concurrent with usage (TR - 09). Exposed tailings on the slopes were capped with subsoil material and planted. Portions of the top of Tailings Pond No. 4 have been brought to final reclamation grade with mine and mill waste material from other projects (TR - 012). These areas have been capped with subsoil and planted according to the reclamation plan. Tailings Pond No. 1 In 1992, the reclamation plan was changed (TR - 013) from direct revegetation of the tailings material to a plan that included; 1) movement of the tailings back from Boulder Creek and Hwy. 110. 2) slope reduction to increase stability and usage of the removed material to create a sloping top to eliminate ponding of water. 3) capping with subsoil material and planting. This work was completed in 1992. Tailings Pond No. 2 In 1991, the reclamation plan was changed (TR - Oil) from direct revegetation of the tailings material to a plan that included; 1) movement of the tailings back from Boulder Creek. 2) slope reduction to increase stability and usage of the removed material to create a sloping top to eliminate ponding of water. 3) capping with subsoil material and planting. This work was completed in 1991. Tailings Pond No. 3 This pond was capped and planted according to the reclamation plan in 1992. Engineering Office Site Area This area, excluding buildings and access road, was capped with subsoil material and planted in 1993. The area was deeded to the San Juan County Historical Society in 1995 for preservation of the historic buildings onsite and conversion to other uses than for mining by the Society (A M - 004). This amendment approval eliminates the requirements for removal of buildings from the reclamation plan. Borrow Area and Haul Roads The haul road used to haul sub-soil for capping Tailings Ponds No, 1 and No.2 was reclaimed in 1994. The borrow area behind Tailings Pond No. 4 and between Tailings Pond No. 4 and Tailings Pond No. 3 is still active although, areas where borrow source material has been exhausted have been reclaimed by contouring, seeding, and fertilizing. For some areas, this occurred as early as 1992. Settling Pond Area below Tailings Pond No. 4 This area was used when Tailings Pond No. 4 was actively used as a tailings pond during operation of the Mayflower Mill. Excess water was discharged through its permitted discharge point that fed secondary settling ponds located in this area. The discharge from Tailings Pond No.4 has not been active since 1990. The ponds were cleaned, area recontoured and planted in 1993. Some areas in this vicinity had been planted since 1978. BASIS for PERMIT AREA and BOND REDUCTION REQUEST: S G C has completed reclamation according to the ML R permit reclamation plan on all inactive sites within its ML R permit area. This includes Lake Emma/Sunnyside Basin, (with the exception of the active subsidence area), Tailings Pond No. 1, Tailings Pond No. 2, Tailings Pond No. 3, Mayflower Mill Area, the Engineering Office-Site area, haul roads between Tailings Pond No. 2 and the borrow area, portions of the borrow area behind Tailings Pond No. 4, the settling pond area below Tailings Pond No. 4, the borrow area at the American Tunnel, and the old tailings pond area at the American Tunnel. These areas have established vegetation with no significant signs of erosion. In addition to D M G site inspections, SG C submits the following supporting documentation. AMERICAN TUNNEL 1. Site pictures 2. Letter from Salem Minerals Inc. (July 18, 1996). Supports the removal of the borrow area from SG C ’s permit area and states that the area is adequately reclaimed for their purposes. Salem Minerals Inc. is the current owner of the borrow area. MAYFLOWER MILL 1. Site pictures 2. D M G inspection report for A M -004 (November 17, 1995).

Please feel f ree to copy this cor respondance as y o u d © e m n e c e s. s a r y Grass stands in all. locations was excellent,. Older stands (oJder than 1. year of establishment ) were in excel lent condition with greater than 30?. ground cover (that is the maximum anywhere on these range site areas) Grass stands younger than 1 year of establishment were established to the extent that spread of the root crowns was ai ready occurring- Again., 1 saw no area needing to be reseeded.. Your- work with liquid fertilizers^ mulch,, lime,, soil replacement: and soil stabilisation exceeded our highest expectations., Erosion on the sites was minimal and much less than what would occur on native range sites in the same vicinity. Trees planted on the sites were of varying success.. We discussed t h a t t h e s i z e o t t h e a s p e n t r a n s p 1 a n t e d ( t o o b i g ) m ,i g h t h a v e b e e n a problem as well as easily damaged by dees'- and elk but the spruces and pines were doing quite well,.

Your particular site is extremely difficult to reclaim due to excessive slopes, lack of soil material, extreme altitude., short growing season,, wildlife destruction,, etc,. 1 personally feel this is the single best reclamation job I have ever witnessed and I heartily endorse your ef f or i.s ,.

SALEM MINERALS INC. 717 12th Street, Suite 117 Golden, Colorado 80401 Phone/fax (303)715-0641 Sunnyside Gold Corp. P.O. Box 177 Silverton, CO 81433 Attn: Mr. Larry Perino Dear Mr. Perino: Per our discussion with yourselves regarding the Big America, Holy Cross, and Black Cat patented lode mining claims in Gladstone owned by Salem Minerals Inc., Salem is desirous of using these lands for purposes other than mining. We ultimately hope to place several cabins on this group of claims, with roads, water system and electric service, and have started working towards this end. The area that Sunnyside Gold used as a borrow pit is part of these plans. The steep bank at the bottom of this area actually leaves a nice level area for us to park vehicles off State Highway 110, and we hope to use this area as the base for a roadway behind the round-roof cabin to the other existing cabin on the property. We expressly do not want this level area filled in. We also hope at some point to put back in place the road to the top of the mill foundation, that the borrow pit obliterated a section of; this road would connect the existing road segments on the upper sides of the borrow pit. We understand that Sunnyside Gold has included this area in your mine permit and are responsible for reclamation. Due to the future planned grading work, we feel that the borrow pit area is suitably reclaimed and request that you work to have the claims removed from your mine permit area. for Salem Minerals Inc.
