The structural feature that dominates the NDR and H1 areas is the northwest trending North Dry Valley Anticline. NDR and H1 are located on the northeast limb of the anticline and as such, the strata of NDR and H1 dips very steeply to near vertical to the northeast.

Faulting in the northern portion of the NDR lease has forced the Meade Peak Member of the Phosphoria Formation to uplift to the overlying Dinwoody Formation. This has resulted in the absence of the Meade Peak Member north of the Blackfoot normal fault with in the NDR property.

Additional folding and faulting are found in the southern portion of the H1 area, notably, the Stewart Anticline, which trends northeast/southeast. The axis of the Stewart Anticline are within the southern portion of the H1 property and allow for a large outcrop area of the Meade Peak Member.

The Meade Peak Member of the Phosphoria Formation contains the phosphate ore within the Conda Projects and is overlain by the Rex Chert member and underlain by the Park City Formation. The Quaternary Alluvium is not very extensive and where present, is only about 5 ft to 20 ft thick. The Meade Peak Member is broken into five mining zones throughout the Conda Projects where the Upper Phosphate and Lower Phosphate Zones are the primary phosphate mineralized zones. The significant mineralized zones encountered on the property are shown below:
- Upper Overburden Zone (Hanging Wall mud).
- Upper Phosphate Zone - Low/medium to high grade phosphate zone. Interbedded phosphorite, mudstone, siltstone, limestone, and shale.
- Center Interburden Zone – Shale and mudstone.
- Lower Phosphate Zone – Low to high grade phosphate zone. Interbedded phosphorite, mudstone, siltstone, limestone, and shale.
- Lower Underburden Zone (Footwall mud) – Reddish brown siltstone with black fossiliferous siltstone and some phosphorite.

The phosphate mineralization presented in this TR is sedimentary in nature, occurring in a conformable sequence of alternating phosphatic and weakly- to non-phosphatic shale, mudstone, carbonate, and chert beds within the Meade Peak Member of the Permian Phosphoria Formation. The Phosphoria Formation occurs within the Western Phosphate Field that occupies in excess of 135,000 square miles, spanning Eastern Idaho, Southern Montana, Western Wyoming, and northern half of Utah (Sheldon 1989).

The phosphate mineralization encountered in the Meade Peak Member is stratigraphic in nature and the deposit type is considered a typical example of a marine sedimentary phosphate deposit. The phosphate mineralization occurred during the primary depositional processes and there are no known secondary phases of phosphate mineralization or enrichment identified in the deposits.

Mining methods are the same for the new properties and ore will continue to be transported via the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) from the mines to the CPP. H1 and NDR are located just a few miles south of the RVM and are in proximity to other historical mine sites. These properties benefit from existing haul access, rail line and shop facilities, all of which will facilitate development of the deposits at a reduced cost. The proposed plan makes use of backfill areas available in the historical mine sites guided by best management practices encouraged by the regulators.

Mining would include 30 feet of benches for every 90 feet of depth. Mining would occur year-round, up to 24 hours per day, with overlapping shifts, for about 13 years. The mining sequence would mine H1 and NDR consecutively.

Ore would be hauled by truck to the tipple. From there the ore would be hauled by existing rail to the existing Conda Plant in Soda Springs. Overburden would be ripped or blasted, excavated, and hauled to a temporary or permanent OSA or back fill location. The train loading facility (tipple) and ore stockpiles would be constructed south of the first (lower) switchback of the North Maybe Mine haul road.

NDR would be mined in 3 phases over approximately 3 years. Overburden would be placed in the existing North Maybe Mine pit, then into the NDR pit as room is available. Backfilled overburden would be compacted to reduce settlement and restrict air and water movement to reduce the risk of constituents of potential concern (COPCs) leaching. Backfill would be shaped to maximum slopes of three horizontal to one vertical (3H:1V) for covering and final reclamation.

The H1 and NDR Phosphate Ores will use the same reception system of CPP for the phosphate ore.

No ore processing occurs at any of the mineral projects. However, phosphate ores to be mined and delivered must be suitable for consumption by the CPP. Suitable for consumption means that delivered phosphate ores may be blended, if needed, and washed to meet certain quality characteristics required of the chemical plant feed. This Item includes information on the recovery methods use at the CPP Wash Plant that is used to process RVM and LCM ores to meet the requirements of the CPP. This Item also includes information on CPP Wash Plant upgrades that are likely to be needed to process mined tonnages delivered from the H1 and NDR mineral resources. The above is achieved by feeding the material to the Wash Plant at -8 inch, and subject it to horizontal scrubbing, sizing, crushing and grinding, classification, and dewatering unit operations.
