INTRODUCTION The Marlin mine is owned and operated by Montana Exploradora de Guatemala, S.A. a wholly-owned subsidiary oftransnational Goldcorp Inc. The mine is located in the north of San Marcos Department, and straddles the municipalities of San Miguel Ixtahuacán and Sipacapa. Montana has provided a $1 million surety bond (Montana Exploradora de Guatemala, S. A., 2010, p. 50) that the government can use to reclaim the mine in the event of a company default. This amount is trivial compared to reclamation bonds required for mining operations elsewhere. For example, reclamation bonds for four mines in Colorado, U.S.A. are:

· Cresson: gold, open pit, heap leach, processing plant - $99 million; · Climax: molybdenum, underground mine and open pit , processing plant -

$52 million; · Henderson: molybdenum, underground mine, processing plant- $41

million; and · San Luis: gold and silver, open pit, processing plant - $7.4 million

(Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining & Safety, 2010). Although the reclamation requirements at these four mines are not fully comparable with the Marlin mine, many of the reclamation tasks are similar and the preceding reclamation amounts indicate the magnitude of surety bonds for reclamation at modern mines. Others also have observed that the Marlin bond amount is low(On Common Ground, 2010, p. 16; E-Tech, 2010, p. 8) The low Marlin surety bond amount exposes the government, local residents, and the environment to significant risks from default by Montana in properly reclaiming the mine. The risks include ongoing pollution from acidic toxic metal effluents, erosion and sedimentation, and disturbed lands that cannot be returned to their prior use. These risks are discussed further in the next section. The amount estimated in this study for an appropriate surety bond on Marlin is Q389 million or $49 million, obviously a significant increase over the existing bond. This amount provides for indefinite operation of the existing water treatment plant;covering mine waste rock dumped on the surface and tailings from ore processing; contouring disturbed lands to natural and less erosive landforms; control of erosion;removal of buildings, equipment, and waste; and revegetation. If it proves that water retreatment becomes unnecessary, approximately half of the bond amount could be returned to Montana. Similarly, if it can be certified that Montana is properly performing concurrent reclamation, applicable portions of the bond could be returned. The reclamation cost was estimated with computer software that is widely acceptedand used within the U.S.A.Nevada State regulators and the mining

industry in that State jointly prepared the software and unit costs. Where available, input data for the computer software was taken from publicly available Montana and Goldcorp documents. Unfortunately, these documents are lacking in regard to reclamation information, and some input data had to be assumed from the authors’ experience and judgment. If additional data becomes available,input for the computer program can be updated. For example, a Guatemalan professional cost estimator could adjust the unit cost rates used herein to the local rates. The third section of this report describes the reclamation cost estimate and the estimating software. The attached Appendix contains the costing spreadsheets. The second section of this report summarizes the reclamation risks posed by Marlin. For those readers unfamiliar with reclamation plans, the fourth section describes the content and level of detail generally required.

ENVIRONMENTAL RISKSOF MINING Even though mostmining companies arefairly responsible environmentally, monumental disasters continue to occur. A few examples of recent gold mining disasters include the following:

· Baia Mare, Romania: In January 2000, a tailings dam breach released some 100,000 cubic meters of cyanide-rich tailings into the river system. This spill released an estimated 50-100 tons of cyanide, as well as toxic metals, particularly copper, into the Somes and Tisza Rivers, and finally into the Danube River before reaching the Black Sea.

· Omai, Guyana: The breach of a tailings damin August 1995 released 3.5 million cubic meters of toxic effluent containing cyanide and toxic metals into the Omai and Essequibo rivers.

· Gilt Edge Mine, USA: After mine closure in 1992, acidic toxic metal effluents seeped into a river from mine waste rock dumps and contaminated water filling three open pits. The owner became insolvent in 1999before cleanup was completed. Subsequently the U.S. Environmental Protection agency financed cleanup.

· Yanacocha, Peru: The mine has been discharging acidic toxic metal effluents to local rivers, and these rivers have diminished flow from consumption by the mine. The toxic effluents and diminished water flow impact drinking water and agriculture. There also has been a spill of mercury in transit to the mine.

This is a short list of the many recent environmental disasters from gold mining.The US Environmental Protection Agency (1997, p. 1)summarized 62 cases in just eight states from 1990 to 1997 of toxic releases and damages to the environment from mining and ore processing. Forty-nine of these cases involved tailings, ponds, mine wasterock, process solution (e.g., cyanide), wastewater, acid mine drainage, and storm water. The above examples and document present some of the risks of gold mining, including cyanide spills, breaches and leakage in tailings dams, and acidic toxic metal effluents.These and some other risks are illustrated in Figures 1 – 7.

· Figure 1 shows a gulley in tailings that eroded downstream after a breach in the tailings dam. These tailings flooded and sterilized the fields of downstream farmers.

· The barren valley floor in Figure 2 should be covered with willow bushes and beaver ponds; however, the area is contaminated with toxic tailings that also leach into the adjacent stream killing aquatic life. This contamination occurred more than 100 years ago, and the area has not reclaimed itself.

· The tailings in Figure 3 are 20 to 80 years old. The tailings never completely dried out, and acidic toxic metal effluents seeped into an

adjacent stream during the entire period. At the time the photo was taken, the tailings were being removed to anengineeredlandfill.

· The open pit in Figure 4 filled with surface and groundwater that became contaminated from leaching sulfides and metals in the mineralized rock remaining in the pit walls. This water contaminated groundwater, which surfaced in nearby streams. Such water also builds up in underground mines and become similarly contaminated.

· A spring from underground mine water is shown in Figure 5 where the orange water is acidic toxic metal discharge mixing with clean water.

· Figure 6 shows some of the more than 150,000 fish killed from a sudden release into the stream of tailings similar to those shown in Figure 3.

· A mine water treatment plant with sludge ponds atop old tailings is shown in Figure 7. Sludge output from the treatment plant is removed to a landfill periodically. The water treatment plant has been operating since the mine closed in the early 1970s, and probably will be required to operate in perpetuity.

The risks of all the preceding environmental calamities exist at the Marlin mine. In addition, there are others not shown in the examples, document, and photos. The soils on the site are easily eroded when stripped of vegetation and disturbed. If surface waters are not carefully controlled and the area not properly re-vegetated, there could be considerable erosion making the lands unfit for use. Downstream, the eroded soils settle out of the water, and become sediments that clog streams and cover adjacent landswhen mobilized by high water. If Montana suddenly abandons the mine, there also will be hazardous chemicals and petroleum products on-site that become vulnerable to release to the environment. When disasters occur such as those above, it is the government, area residents and the environment that suffer the consequences. The nations’ taxpayers must finance the cost of cleanup or the local land and people will suffer severe and long-lasting injuries to public health and the environment. Given the poor record of some mining companies in leaving such disasters, authorities should be aggressive in making mining companies meet their responsibilities. This includes requiring the mining company to set aside the full cost of reclamation. The following section provides an estimate of the funds that Montana should provide, in a surety bond, in the event of its default in properly completing reclamation and protecting public health and the environment.

RECLAMATION COST ESTIMATE The estimated total reclamation cost is Q389 million ($49 million, exchange rate Q8.097 = $1.00), which assumes Montana departs fromthe Marlin mine without performing adequate reclamation. This mightoccurif the company abandons the mine, the company goes bankrupt, or the government suddenly ordersthe mine closed. It is the amount the Guatemala government should require from Montana in a surety bond for minereclamation in the event of any of those defaults. If Montana defaults on proper reclamation, the reclamation bond could be used to reclaim the mined lands, protect the local people and environment from long-term injuries, and return the mined lands to their prior use. The existing Marlin reclamation bond is $1 million (Montana Exploradora de Guatemala, S. A., 2010, p. 50). A breakdown of the estimated total reclamation cost is given in Table 1.

TOTAL 22,799,259 179,381,302 186,922,654 389,103,215

Note that the largest cost items include:

· Surface Water Treatment for indefinite operation of the water treatment plant –Q96,776,222/$11,952,108.

· Mine Waste Rock & Open Pits, and Tailings are earthmoving costs for regrading the highwalls of the open pits; and contouring, covering, and re-vegetatingall these areas–total Q104,121,694/$12,859,293.

· Sediment &Drainage, and Riprap for controlling erosion–Q28,169,326/$3,478,983.

· Demolition and removal of buildings, equipment, power lines, and substation –total Q13,190,364/$1,629,043.

The high cost of water treatment and the earthmoving reflect the highest risk from mining, which is the discharge of toxic effluents. The remaining costs are required to return the lands disturbed by the mine to their prior use, which in this case is agriculture and forestry. The reclamation cost estimate could be reduced by concurrent reclamation and equipment salvage. Although Montana is performing some concurrent reclamation, the annual monitoring reports do not provide any details.(Montana Exploradora de Guatemala, S. A., 2005 - 2009) Some of the areas Montana may be reclaiming concurrently include exploration disturbances, open pits, and minewaste rock. It is difficult to give a precise cost saving from any concurrent reclamation, as Montana has nopublic reclamation plan, and the annual monitoring reports are vague in regard to reclamation completed to date. Most importantly, an independent or government authority has not certified the reclamation accomplished thus far or the quality of the work. There may be some salvage value of the mining and processing equipment that could be credited to the reclamation cost. However, no equipment salvage values are included in the cost estimate as it is not possible to anticipate the condition of the equipment when the mine closes.

Page 17: RECLAMATION ISSUES AND ESTIMATED COST OF ......reclamation at modern mines. Others also have observed that the Marlin bond amount is low(On Common Ground, 2010, p. 16; E-Tech, 2010,

Another possible cost saving is in the water treatment operating cost, if acidic toxic metaleffluents do not develop in the two open pits, underground mine, and mine waste rock. Portions of the reclamation bond could be returned to Montana as reclamation is completed and certified or shown to be unnecessary. Because Montana does not have a public reclamation plan or any plans showing the final limits of mining and land disturbance, the above estimated total reclamation cost was in large part based on professional judgment and experience with similar mines. A cost estimate based on detailed plans and maps, actual data, and engineering analyses may result in a much higher cost estimate. All the cost items are vulnerable to an increase, if the costing parameters are underestimated. Some of the reclamation items that could be significantly underestimated in this cost estimate are the adequacy of the existing water treatment plant for future uses, the amount of toxic effluents that develop from the mine workings, mine waste rock, and tailings, the amount of time required to stabilize the tailings, and the work required to control erosion and re-vegetate the disturbed lands. Montana also plans to process ore from other nearbyprojectsat the Marlin facilities. The impact on reclamation costs of this activity is not included here. Table 2 summarizes the estimated reclamation costs on a U.S. cost basis. These are the costs that were adjusted for Guatemalan labor rates and currency to arrive at the costs given in Table 1. In Table 1, labor is adjusted to 15.66 percent of U.S.A. labor. This percentage is based on the ratio of Guatemala to U.S. average monthly wages for mining and quarrying obtained from the International Labor Organization at http://laborsta.ilo.org/. The currency conversion rate used is Q8.097 for $1. Guatemala costs for imported equipment and supplies could be higher than estimated. On the other hand, supplies obtained locally could be less than estimated. The Table 1 cost estimate assumes these differences compensate. A skilled local costing engineer could update the estimate with local unit cost rates. Table 2 is provided here for reference and tracking to the detail spreadsheets in the Appendix. The Appendix has another cost summary that breaks down the costs differently.

RECLAMATION TASKS The reclamation proposed in this cost estimate has the objective of minimizing the mining impacts on the local people and environment, and returning the disturbed lands to their prior use to the extent possible, given the current state of reclamation technology. Prior use means returning as much of the land as possible to farming, grazing, and forestry. Insuring that the lands return to these uses may be a lengthy process, perhaps as long as fifteen or more years.To return the disturbed lands to their prior use, all the surface facilities and equipment must be removed. The disturbed lands must be contoured to natural landforms, covered with growth media, and re-vegetated. In addition, surface water must be controlled to prevent erosion and the subsequent down-slope or down-stream damaging effects of sedimentation.

The primary environmental risk is the release of acidic toxic metal effluentsfrom the open pits (Marlin and Cochise), underground mine, mine waste rock dumped on the surface, and tailings.Surface and groundwater pass through sulfide mineralization in the mine rock. The water dissolves the metal sulfides and becomes acidic. This process is generally referred to acidic rock drainage (ARD). There are two lines of defense against ARD. The first defense includes various source control measures designed to prevent the formation of ARD. The second line of defense is to collect anyARD,remove toxic constituents in a water treatment plant, and release the clean water to nearby waterways. The toxic sludge removed by the water treatment plant must be sequestered in an engineered landfill on-site. This treatment may be required indefinitely as historically some mines discharge ARD for many decades and centuries after mining ends. Source control involves blocking ingredients in the chemical reactions that form ARD. In the case of the Marlin mine, this means blocking water and oxygen from contacting the sulfide minerals in the rock left exposed by the mining. These are two of the ingredients necessary to form ARD. The source control measures used in this cost estimate include liming sulfide soils and sulfide rock exposures, compacting soils to minimize water infiltration, and diverting surface water away from those areas. ARD is very difficult to stop once the chemical reactions begin, and so it is likely that any source control measures will be only partially successful. Tailings are a slurry of finely ground rock, processing chemicals, and process water that are left over after the processing plant has removed the valuable mineralsfrom the ore. The water has the same toxic metals as ARD, plus some processing chemicals. The tailings are contained behind a dam, and fill a small valley. Toxicwater from the tailingscan both overflow the dam during storm events, and continuallyinfiltrate groundwater immediately down gradient from the dam. Below the dam, there are groundwater wells intended to intercept the toxic effluents,and pump the toxic water into a pond. (This pond is referred to as the‘infiltration pond’ by Montana.) From this pond, the captured toxic water is pumped back into the tailings. The second line of defense in preventing release of toxic discharges is to collect anyARDthat gets past the source control measures, collecttoxic water in the tailings and in the groundwater below the tailings dam, and process these discharges in a water treatment plant. Sludge removed from the water must be sequestered in a leak-proof landfill. Montana constructed a water treatment plant for the purpose of processing the tailings to remove toxic constituents. This cost estimate assumes that theexisting water treatment plant is adequate for future needs. The treatment plant may be required to operate indefinitely. The following subparagraphs describe all of the reclamation tasks that are the basis for the total estimated reclamation costs.The titles of most

The existing source is the tailings, which contain toxic waters. This water is infiltrating the groundwater below the tailings dam(E-Tech, 2010; MEG 2009, p. 61; MARN 2008-2010, D6 samples; Robertson 2009, p. 6,11). Currently, Montana has groundwater wells that are pumping the contaminated water into a pond and then back into the tailings. This groundwater pumpingprobably must be continued indefinitely or until there is no more contamination of the groundwater.The water must be treated to remove the toxic constituents prior to releasing treated water downstream. Otherwise, the contaminated groundwater plume will expand and eventually surface in springs or in downstream waters.Further, toxic water in the tailings requires treatment in order to complete final reclamation of the tailings area. Solids in the tailings are not settling out of the toxic water as expected (Robertson, 2009,p. 6 & 11). In order to dewater the tailings,the tailings must be treated to separate solids from the water. The water is treated to remove toxic constituents and released. The separated solids must be removed to an engineered landfill on-site.Treatment of the groundwater plume and water in the tailings may require many years or decades. The other three possible sources of toxic dischargesare the Marlin and Cochise open pits, the underground mine, and mine waste rock dumped on the surface. All these facilities contain exposed rock with sulfide minerals that can leach out acidic toxic metaleffluents (also known as acidic rock drainage or ARD). Montana reportsundertakingsource control steps to avoid ARD such as regrading the highwalls of the open pits, placing cemented backfill in the underground mine

Page 21: RECLAMATION ISSUES AND ESTIMATED COST OF ......reclamation at modern mines. Others also have observed that the Marlin bond amount is low(On Common Ground, 2010, p. 16; E-Tech, 2010,

where ore has been removed, encapsulating any sulfide waste rock deep within neutral waste rock, and placing a soil cover over the mine waste rock. However, these steps are notorious for having limited success. In the cost items below, additional source control steps are provided to further minimize the risk of ARD.If these measures are unsuccessful, the ARD will require treatment,perhaps indefinitely. This cost item provides for operating the existing water treatment plant indefinitely to treat tailings dam effluents and toxic water contained within the tailings, and possibly ARD.The cost estimating software does not provide for estimating water treatment. In addition, Montana has not made public details of the water treatment plant from which costs could be estimated. Water treatment operating costs generally range from $1 to $4 per 1000 gallons treated. If a reasonable rate of $1.50 per 1000 gallons is assumed for the Marlin water treatment, the operating costs are:

1. Total Cost to Treat Water in Tailings $4,800,000 given the 20 million cubic meters of tailings (Howell & Christopherson, 2009) and 0.6 water content of tailings.

2. Annual Cost to Treat Groundwater and ARD $394,200 per year assuming the need to treat 500 gallons per minute of contaminated groundwater and ARD. An escrow account earing six percent interest per year would require $6,570,000 to pay this annual operating cost.

If the plant must be operated indefinitely, additional funds must be provided to replace aging equipment. A typical cost for a water treatment plant such as the one at Marlin is around $5 million not including engineering and design costs. Providing half of that amount to replace aging equipment over time would require $2.5 million.The total initial construction cost of $5 million does not need to be provided as much of the original cost includes funds for items that do no need replacement such as site preparation and foundations. The total amount required for the reclamation bond is $13,870,000, the three preceding amounts in bold text. Exploration Spreadsheets: Exploration and Exploration Roads & Pads

Q7,072,179/$873,432 Montana drilled and continues to drill exploration holes into various mineral deposits to sample for possible ore. This drilling has occurred at Marlin, La Hamaca, and West Vero. Any casing in the holes must be removed. The holes must be plugged for their entire length to prevent cross-linking of any aquifers penetrated by the drill holes, and to prevent injuries to people or livestock from tripping in open holes. The cost estimate provides for plugging the holes with

grout.There also are a number of water supply wells and monitoring wells that similarly must be plugged during the final phase of reclamation. The number of drill holes and their depth were found in various sources; however, there is little information on the length of hole casing and depth to water. This information had to be assumed. Exploration access roads, drill pads, and sumps must be regraded to natural landforms, covered with growth media, and re-vegetated. No information was found on access roads and drill pads for La Hamaca and West Vero, and this information had to be assumed. The length and width of the access road to the water supply wells was obtained from a map of Marlin(Comision Gubernamental Para Analizar El Fenomeno De Agrietamiento De Paredes En Algunas Casas Adyacentes Al Proyecto Minero Marlin I, 2010). The reclamation cost for access roads within the Marlin project area is included under Roads. It is possible that Montana has completed some of this reclamation work. However, until the work is certified as properly completed, any reclamation bond should provide for performing the work. Roads Q6,161,957/$761,017 Roads requiring reclamation include the very wide haul roads from the Marlin and Cochise open pits to the ore crusher and the mine waste rock dump, the airstrip, and other on-site roads. These roads must be regraded to natural landforms, covered with growth media, and re-vegetated.The airstrip is paved with asphalt, and the cost of removing and treating this asphalt is included under Waste Disposal. Pit Berms Q168,332/$20,789 Berms must be placed around the Marlin and Cochise open pits to discourage vehicle traffic from disturbing the open pit reclamation. Pit Lime Treatment Q777,536/$96,028 Spreadsheet: Miscellaneous Costs Apply lime to sulfide soilsin the open pits to neutralize any acidic toxic metal leachates that might form. The cost estimate assumes that 10 tons per acre (Skousen & McDonald, 2005)are applied over 65 acres (263,045 square meters). The preceding acreage assumes that much of the pit surface is sulfide rock. This may not be the case, and a careful inventory by an independent professional may result in a lower acreage. In addition, there may be present carbonate rock that will help to neutralize the sulfides.

Pit Dewater Q1,398,771/$172,752 Spreadsheets: Miscellaneous Costs Pit slope regrading may leave a depression in the Marlin pit bottom where water can collect, and become contaminated with acidic toxic metal effluents. When this water rises to the lowest point along the depression rim, the water will begin to overflow onto the southern hillside above the Tzalá River. The cost estimate provides for cutting a trench from the pit bottom to the outlying hillside toward the south, installing a culvert with perforated riser pipe on the pit bottom end, and backfilling the trench. This culvert drains any water accumulating in the pit bottom to a lined pond where it is pumped to the water treatment plant. The cost estimate is based on a pond (included under Sediment and Drainage Control) with a capacity and a pump with a pumping rate adequate to handle a 24-hour 100-year stormevent of 219 millimeters (Robertson, 2009, p. 9) over 65 acres (263,045 square meters). The cost estimate provides for a500 gallons per minute pump, and a pipeline 6,600 feet long with 200 feet of head. This pit dewatering may be required indefinitely. Similar pit dewatering is not includedin the cost estimate for the Cochise open pit as it is open toward a drainage that flows into the tailings. Underground Openings Q81,582/$10,076

The underground mine has two openings to the surface including a decline ramp and a ventilation shaft. The cost estimate provides for a concrete and rock plug in the decline portal and a concrete cover for the shaft opening. Underground Mine Water When the mine closes, there is a risk that the underground workings will fill with water that could accumulate acidic toxic metal effluents from the surrounding sulfide rock. Subsequently this toxic water could migrate out into the groundwater and then into surface springs and rivers. Because Montana is backfilling some areas in the mine with cemented mine waste rock, the cement is buffering any acid currently being formed. This buffering may not last in the long term, and the following two cost items are included to minimize the risk of acidic toxic metal discharge.

Underground Lime Treatment Q621,322/$76,735 Spreadsheet: Miscellaneous Costs Lime must be placed in the underground workings to neutralize any formation of acidic toxic metal leachates. The volume of the mine water is estimated at 1.1 million cubic meters, which is the estimated volume of the underground development workings at the planned closure of the mine. This volume does not include the areas where ore will be or has been removed,as Montana is backfilling theseareas with cemented mine waste rock. The amount of lime is estimated based on the mine water having 500 milligrams of sulfate per liter (Montana Exploradora de Guatemala, S.

Page 24: RECLAMATION ISSUES AND ESTIMATED COST OF ......reclamation at modern mines. Others also have observed that the Marlin bond amount is low(On Common Ground, 2010, p. 16; E-Tech, 2010,

A., 2007, pp. Ann. C, D1)and a lime neutralization efficiency of 0.82 (Skousen, Hilton, & Faulkner, 2010). Underground Mine Dewater Q762,966/$94,228 Spreadsheet: Miscellaneous Costs In the event that the preceding lime application is inadequate, the cost estimate provides for a drill hole (water well) from the surface to a sump at the lowest pointin the workings to dewater the mine. The drill holemust be equipped with pipe and submersible in-wellpump both acid resistant to remove acidic toxic metal effluents from the mine to the water treatment plant. The assumedrate is 150 gallons per minute with a head of 475 meters. This dewatering and water treatment may be required indefinitely.

Process Ponds Q1,669,259/$206,158 There are three process ponds. The first is for storage of water pumped from the water supply wells, the second is a sediment pond on the south side of the Marlin open pit, and the third is an infiltrationbelow the tailings dam. Montana is planning a second tailings storage facility(Robertson, 2009, p. 4), and the cost estimate provides for reclaiming an additional infiltration pond for the second facility. This spreadsheet does not include any ponds constructed for sediment control and final reclamation, which are included under Sediment& Drainage Control. Mine Waste Rock &Open Pits Spreadsheet: Waste RockDumps Q48,464,409/$5,985,477 Montana states that the mine waste rock dump now in use is being reclaimed concurrently. However, the annual monitoring reports provide no specific information on this reclamation, and there is no independent certification that the reclamation has been accomplished properly. The cost estimate provides for regrading the mine waste rock dump to a 2.5:1 horizontal to vertical slope, and compacting to minimize the risk of erosion and surface water infiltration. Surface water infiltration could react with sulfide rockin the dump, and produce acidic toxic metal effluents. There is another mine waste rock dump called area 5. This dump is no longer in use and has been covered. One water sample from this area shows little contamination in effluents from the mine waste rock (Ministero de Ambiente y Recursos Naturales, 2007) The steep highwalls around the open pits must be regraded to a slope of 2.5:1 horizontal to verticalto minimize erosion of the final pit surfaces, and return the final pit surfaces to their prior use. The regraded areas must be compacted, covered with growth media, and re-vegetated. Slope reduction will reduce the risk of erosion. Compaction will reduce the risk of surface water percolating through the fill to react with sulfide rock. The earthmoving calculations performed in the Waste Rock Dumps spreadsheet are applicable to dozing the pit highwalls

from the existing steep slope to the required flatter slope. This estimate assumes that the earthmoving does not require blasting. Landfill Q343,439/$42,416 Marlin has a solid waste landfill for non-hazardous waste that will require closure and reclamation when the mine closes.Any building materials not salvaged in the demolition of the buildings also must be disposed of in this landfill. Tailings Q55,657,285/$6,873,815 The existing tailings storage facility is expected to reach full capacity within a year (Robertson, 2009, p. 4), and a second will be required for future tailings. The cost estimate provides for reclaiming the existing tailings and a second storage facility with similar dimensions. This assumption may underestimate the estimated reclamation cost as the new tailings storage facility may have a greater capacity than the existing facility. The cost estimate is based on covering the tailings first with a compacted 24-inch thick low permeability soil layer. The second layer is a 12-inch thick drainage layer. The third or top layer of the tailings cover is growth media 24 inches thick, which is thicker than the growth media layers used elsewhere on the site. (United States Enviornmental Protection Agency, 1989, p. 9) It may be many years or decades before the existing tailings storage facility can be finally reclaimed. Solid particles in the tailings are not settling from the water at the rate expected(Robertson, 2009, p. 6 & 11), and the surface may not become solid enough for any work for a long time. Operation of the water treatment plant will facilitate dewatering of the tailings. In addition, a plan is understudy to dewater future tailings by filtration, and alternatively a water cover for the tailings has been suggested. (Robertson, 2009, p. 3) The existing tailings dam is settling more than expected, approximately three percentto date (Robertson, 2009, p. 13). The cost estimate provides for adding two100-inch lifts(three percent of dam height) on top of the dam to maintain its designed height. Foundations and Buildings Demolition Q8,751,429/$1,083,232

The cost estimate provides for dismantling all the buildings, slab demolition, and burying the foundations in place. The disturbed areas must be covered and re-vegetated. Although the municipality or other organizations may want to retain some of the buildings after mining ends, the cost estimate provides for removing all buildings as there is no certainty that any will be retained. There may be some salvage value in the buildings when the mine closes; however, there is no certainty that the buildings will have any value, and some may be unusable if contaminated with process chemicals.

20

Equipment Removal Q3,559,584/$439,618 The processing equipment and storage tanks must be dismantled and removed. Two of the tank volumes had to be assumed for the cost estimate, as the volumes were not found in the Montana documents. The mining equipment and various vehicles must be removed. The cost estimate provides for removing the equipment for sale in Guatemala City. Any proceeds from the sale could be credited to the surety bond. Yards Q6,558,828/$810,031 Storage areas, building sites, parking lots, and other yards require ripping (scarifying), growth media cover, and re-vegetation. This cost estimate is adequate to include chemical characterization of any soils contaminated with petroleum products and other contaminates. Petroleum-contaminated soils must be removed to the bioremediation cell. Sediment and Drainage Control Spreadsheets: Sediment &Drainage Control and Miscellaneous Costs Q2,382,529/$294,248

To minimize erosion and the risk of acidic toxic metal effluents, the cost estimate provides for perimeter ditchesto divert surface water from flowing onto the regraded open pits,mine waste rock dump, and tailings. All these ditches will drain into sediment ponds that settle out sediment carried by the water. The Marlin pit perimeter ditch is in two sections, one around the east end and a second around the west end with a pond at the end of both sections. Although the existing tailings havetwo sediment ponds below the dam, this cost estimate provides for reconstructing both ponds. The existing ponds may not be functional when the mine closes. The sediment ponds periodically will require removal of trapped sediments. The mine waste rock dump must have parallel contour ditches evenly spacedacross the top and sides to minimize erosion and water infiltration into the waste rock from direct precipitation. In addition, this dump has a very long slope, and surface water must be diverted to the sides to eliminate formation of rills and gullies from erosion. To further minimize water infiltration, these ditches must be concrete lined (see the spreadsheet Miscellaneous Costs for the concrete lining) as recommended by Robertson (2009, p. 15). The spacing between parallel contour ditches is 50 meters horizontal. These ditches will flow into the perimeter ditches described above. Unit costs for the concrete lining were obtained from RSMeans Building Construction Cost Guide (1999, p. Sec. 033 130 4840). The Marlin pit east sediment pond must be lined. This pond performs double duty in receiving water from the eastern perimeter ditch and water drained through the pit bottom trench (see Pit Dewater). The pond must be lined in the event that waters from the pit bottom develop acidic toxic metal effluents.

Waste Disposal Spreadsheets: Waste Disposal and User 1 Q2,816,882/$347,892

Marlin has an asphalt-paved airstrip. The cost estimate provides for removing the asphalt and treating it in a bioremediation cell. This cost item probably is adequate to remove other small areas of hydrocarbon-contaminated soil in the project area.

Marlin has an incinerator for disposal of hazardous chemicals. The cost estimate assumes operating this incinerator for 10 days to incinerate any open containers and bins containing hazardous chemicals. The incinerator has a capacity of 400 pounds per hour (Montana Exploradora de Guatemala, S. A., 2006). The unit costs were obtained from the RSMeans Building ConstructionCost Guide(1999, p. Sec. 111 701 4480). The cost estimate assumes that unopened containers of both hazardous and non-hazardous chemicals can be returned to suppliers at a cost less than their return value. Fences Spreadsheet: Miscellaneous Costs Q6,544,323/$808,240

The existing fence around the project boundaries must be removed and a new fence installed. The new fence will have a smaller perimeter only enclosing the tailings, water treatment plant, and Marlin pit east sediment pond. The new fence protects these areas from public intrusion until their final closure and reclamation. Final remediation of these facilities is expected to be completed long after the other reclamation work. Pipe Removal Spreadsheet: Miscellaneous Costs Q1,182,418/$146,031

Overland pipelines that must be removed are the water supply pipeline from the supply wells to the crude water pond, pipelines between the process plant and both the tailings storage facility and water treatment plant, a pipeline from the tailings infiltration pond to the water treatment plant, and a new pipeline provided in this cost estimate from the Marlin pit east sediment pond to the water treatment plant. The lengths of the pipelines to the existing tailings storage facilityare doubled in the cost estimate to remove pipelines to the new tailings storage facility.

The cost of building demolition should be adequate to include any pipe removal in and around the various buildings.

Power Lines and Substation Spreadsheet: Miscellaneous Costs Q879,351/$108,602 The cost estimate includes removal of two power lines and a substation. One power line is high voltage incoming power from the power plant at Tejutla. The second is a lower voltage line to the water supply wells.

22

The estimated cost of building demolition is assumed adequate to include removal of on-site power distribution. Riprap Spreadsheet: Miscellaneous Costs Q25,786,797/$3,184,735 The cost estimate provides for lining all perimeter diversion ditches and sediment pond spillways with riprap. The riprap will protect the integrity of the ditches and spillways for the long term. Rock on the tailings dam face and spillway is weathering and degrading(Robertson, 2009, p. 5 & 10). The cost estimate also provides for placing riprap on these surfaces. The source of the riprap is assumed offsite. These cost items are not included for the new tailings storage facility as it is assumed thisfacility will be built properly.

Monitoring Q6,419,407/$792,813 The cost estimate provides for monitoring mine waste rock (including area 5), landfills, tailings and tailings dams, re-vegetation, ground and surface water, and any toxic effluents for a period of fifteen years. This task requires the following:

· Sampling and analysis of mine waste rock and tailings, and ground and surface water for contaminants.

· Measuring integrity and stability of mine waste rock dumps, landfills, tailings, and tailings dams with inclinometers and survey monuments.

· Sampling tailings for density and moisture content. · Sampling re-vegetation for density and species richness. · Inspection for erosion and sedimentation.

The task includes interpreting and reporting monitoring results to the authorities and interested parties. The cost estimate for this task does not include monitoring for the above water treatment plant as those operating costs include monitoring. Construction Management Q12,957,818/$1,600,323 The post-mining reclamation period is expected to require a year. After this reclamation, the site supervision required is for monitoring and site maintenance. Indirect Costs Q91,308,590/$11,276,842 Spreadsheet: Cost Summary The cost estimate automatically adds indirect costs based on the size of the reclamation project. These costs include an item ‘BLM Indirect Cost”. This item is the cost for government agency compliance monitoring of the reclamation, which in this case would go to MEM and MARN.

COSTING METHODOLOGY The estimated reclamation cost was prepared with Excel software developed jointly by the State of Nevada (U.S.A.), other U.S.A. government agencies, and the mining industry(Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, 2010). The software name is Standardized Reclamation Cost Estimator (SRCE), and information regarding the software is available at the web site: http://www.nvbond.org/index.htm SRCE has the following advantages:

· Specific to the mining industry, · Acceptable to both government and industry, · Up-to-date cost rates, and · Readily available at the above web site.

There are other reclamation cost estimating software available including RACER(US Air Force & US Environmental Protection Agency, 2008) and Sherpa(Aventurine Engineering, Inc., 2010). The US Environmental Protection Agency and US Air Force developed RACER for estimating reclamation costs for all types of hazardous materials sites. The software requires detailed input data that is not publicly available for Marlin. Sherpa has an excellent reputation and its author also provides a mine costing data service used widely by the mining industry. In the early 1990s, the US Bureau of Mines published a mine cost estimating guide that includes reclamationand water treatment costs(United States Bureau of Mines). The specific version of the SRCE software and cost rates used herein is given on the title page of the cost estimate (see Appendix).Dimensional input data for SRCE was extracted from various Montana sources, which are listed in the Works Cited section of this report. Notes following input in the SRCE spreadsheetsindicate the specific reference for the data. Where the Montana information is incomplete, the authors assumed input from their experience and professional judgment.

The cost estimate selects small to medium sized earthmoving equipment instead of the large-scale mining equipment used by Montana. This selection assumes that a local contractor with road-building sized equipment will perform the reclamation, as Montana’s equipment may not be available or operable at the time reclamation is required. The cost estimate uses US unit cost rates. The total costs are adjusted for local labor rates and converted to Guatemalan quetzals with the conversion factor current at the time of the cost estimate was prepared. For a more accurate cost

Page 30: RECLAMATION ISSUES AND ESTIMATED COST OF ......reclamation at modern mines. Others also have observed that the Marlin bond amount is low(On Common Ground, 2010, p. 16; E-Tech, 2010,

24

estimate, a Guatemalan professional cost estimator could adjust the unit cost rates used herein to the local rates. SRCE does not specifically provide for costing all the reclamation tasks required at Marlin. In particular, there are no spreadsheets for regrading the open pits, treating toxic waters, and operation of the hazardous waste incinerator. For regrading the open pits, it was possible toadapt the Waste Rock Dumpsspreadsheet. For the water treatment and incineration, SRCE was supplemented with professional estimating sources and publications. There are possible shortcomings in the cost estimate. Much of the input data came from the Marlin Evaluacion de ImpactoAmbiental y Social de Marlin (Montana Exploradora de Guatemala, S. A., 2003). This document is now seven years out of date, and some of the data is incomplete for costing purposes. Similarly, some data was taken from the annual monitoring reports (Montana Exploradora de Guatemala, S. A., 2005 - 2009), which are not as suitable for cost estimating as actual field measurements and detailed engineering plans.The biggest uncertainty is in the cost of future treatment of toxic water in the tailings and possibly acidic toxic metal effluents from the mine workings and mine waste rock dumped on the surface. Another cost estimate for Marlin reclamation is reported at $13.06 million (On Common Ground, 2010, p. 13). MWH Consulting prepared this cost estimate on behalf of Goldcorp in May 2009. An independent professional review concludes thatthe cost estimate is low, the post closure period short, and there is no surety bond to guarantee the reclamation(On Common Ground, 2010, pp. 12-14). Other experienced professionals in mining risks have observed that the existing $1 million reclamation bond is minimal (E-Tech, 2010). Apart from the preceding review, the MWH cost estimate is not publicly available, and has not stood the test of public scrutiny. Nor has a qualified independent authority analyzed and evaluated the estimate. It would be very useful to review the MWH cost estimate with specific attention to the methods and assumptions used.

RECLAMATION PLAN REQUIREMENTS It has been reported that there is a reclamation plan for the Marlin mine(On Common Ground, 2010, p. 13); however, it is not public. If it is made public, the reclamation tasks and costs can be compared with this estimate to check whether that plan is complete and its cost estimates are acceptable. The authors of that plan presumably had better access to Marlin information. Or, the input data for this cost estimate can be adjusted as appropriate. In doing so, care must be taken to accept only obviously better information, and information that has been independently certified by a recognized authority. In engineering plans there are several levels of detail including 1) order of magnitude, 2) conceptual, 3) design, and 4) construction. A mine reclamation plan should beat the construction level of detail. This means providing the performance criteria, specifications, constraints, quantities, and engineering drawings in sufficient detail for construction.The currentdisturbances and the planned final disturbancesto the land at Marlin should be shown to a scale larger than 1:200, and these plans should be updated whenever there are changes. The reclamation earthmoving drawings should be on the same scale, and details on those drawings such as ditches, ponds, fences, etc. should be on a scale adequate for construction. For the various buildings and processing facilities, the original construction drawings updated with any subsequent modifications are adequate. It is vital that the reclamation plan have detailed reports on the various natural resources including surface and groundwater, geology and mineralogy, soils, wildlife, and vegetation. These reports must describe the pre-mining state of the resources, how the mine will impact the resources, and mitigation measures required to prevent their degradation. For any possible project effluents, the reports must describe their sources, pathways of release, and all possible environmental and human receptors. The reports must include maps of the resources; sampling and analytical data; population density, and distribution statistics. Most importantly, the mine reclamation plan must include management plans for protecting the resources and mitigatingimpacts of the project. For an example of the requirements for a mine reclamation plan, see the rules and regulations for Colorado,USA at http://mining.state.co.us/Rules%20and%20Regs.htm This web site also has the reclamation plans for mines in Colorado. For example, the San Luis gold mine was similar in size to Marlin with daily ore production of 5,000 tons and a life of 10 years. The reclamation plan is about 700 pages long in 17 exhibits and 3 appendices. The file includes another 170 documents on public hearings, reviews, and correspondence on the reclamation plan. Subsequent to filing the original plan, approximately 1790 revisions were filed through the life of the mine. Administration of the reclamation plan by the

26

state is reported in 55 documents on the reclamation bond, 120 inspections, and 471 documents on enforcement.(Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining & Safety, 2010) There are a number of international references or starting points from which Guatemala’s regulators could begin to develop a comprehensive mine reclamation program. The World Bank Group has information on mining guidelines, mine closure, and surety bonds. (International Finance Corporation, 2007) (Sasson, 2009) (Sheldon et al, 2002)One of Montana’s engineering contractors, SRK Consulting, published an “Overview of International Mine Closure Guidelines.”(Garcia, 2008)At Marlin, the tailings are one of the primary reclamation issues. The following web sitehas technical information and guidelines on tailings. www.tailings.info/guidelines.htm A highly respected technical resource is the Canadian program Mine Environment Neutral Drainage, which can be accessed at http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/mms-smm/tect-tech/sat-set/med-ndd-eng.htm. Guatemala’s regulators should be diligent in insisting on a comprehensive Marlin reclamation plan and should be diligent in enforcing the plan. Goldcorp does not have a very good record of environmental protection at many of its mines as follows:

· Alumbrera, Argentina: slurry pipeline spill; transportation release of ammonium nitrate; releases of arsenic, cadmium, copper, mercury, and strontium.

· Red Lake, Canada: release of tailings into the Bruce Channel of Red Lake that required two-day shutdown of nearby municipal water treatment plant; among highest 12 emitters of arsenic in Canada.

· Musselwhite, Canada: cyanide release. · Equity Silver, Canada: acid rock drainage. · La Coipa, Chile: releases of mercury and cyanide. · Pueblo Viejo, DominicanRepublic: acidic rock drainage. · San Martin, Honduras: reduced water resources; releases of arsenic,

cyanide, copper, iron, and lead. · Nukay, Mexico: tailings release. · Marigold, USA: arsenic contamination of groundwater; releases of

mercury. · Wharf, USA: releases of cyanide, nitrate, and selenium.(MiningWatch

Canada, 2007) Without vigilance on the part of the government of Guatemala, the San Miguel Ixtahuacán and Sipacapa Municipalities, and the local people, Marlin has the

CONCLUSIONS From multiple viewpoints, the existing Marlin reclamation bond of $1 million is a trivial amount. The cost estimate given in this report indicates that the reclamation cost in the event of a Montana default could be as much as Q389 million or $49 million. There is a high risk that contaminated effluents from the site will require water treatment indefinitely (E-Tech, 2010), and the preceding total includes sufficient funds for an escrow account of Q97 million or $12 million to fund the treatment. Reclamation bonds held on other modern mines elsewhere are in the same order of magnitude. An unpublished report prepared for Montana estimates reclamation at $13.06 million. Even so, another mining expert who has reviewed the $13.06 million estimate concludes that it is inadequate(On Common Ground, 2010). By not requiring an adequate reclamation bond, Guatemala is exposed to high risks of injury to public health and the environment should Montana default on its responsibility to properly reclaim the Marlin mine. Such aMontana default could result from bankruptcy, forced or unplanned shutdown of the mine, and extreme weather or seismic events. A non-public reclamation plan is equally serious. It raises doubts about the sincerity of the mining company and regulators. Worldwide these documents are required to be public. The public can be a valuable resource in assuring that industrial projects are conducted in an appropriate manner. The world’s landscape is littered with mines that adversely impact public health and the environment. Many of these are historic mines, but irresponsible modern mining companies continue to leave environmental disasters such as the short list given in the section Environmental Risks of Mining. Many of these disasters are monumental as modern mining takes place on a massive scale. Some of these disasters require hundreds of millions or more than a billion dollars of government funds to cleanup, and in spite of these costly cleanups many of the injuries are perpetual.As noted earlier, Goldcorp has a history of environmental problems at many of its mines. Unless comprehensive reclamation requirements are diligently applied, the Marlin Mine also could become a significant environmental disaster. It would serve Goldcorp well to improve its environmental reputation among governments and citizens by carrying out exemplary reclamation at the Marlin mine.

Cost Ranges for Indirect Cost Percentages

4. Fluid management should be calculated only when mineral processing activities are involved. Fluid management represents the costs of maintaining proper fluid

management to prevent overflow of solution ponds through premature cessation or abandonment of operations. Calculate a minimum six month direct cost

estimate which includes power, supplies, equipment, labor and maintenance.

5. Handling of hazardous materials includes the cost of decontaminating, neutralizing, disposing, treating and/or isolating all hazardous materials used, produced,

or stored on the site.

6. Any mitigation measures required in the Plan of Operations must be included in the reclamation cost estimate. Mitigation may include measures to avoid,

minimize, rectify and reduce or eliminate the impact, or compensate for the impact.

7. Engineering, design and construction (ED&C) plans are often necessary to provide details on the reclamation needed to contract for the required work. To

estimate the cost to develop an ED&C plan use 4-8% of the O&M cost. Calculate the ED&C cost as a percentage of the O&M cost as follows: up to and including

$1 million, use 8%; over $1 million to $25 million, use 6%; and over $25 million, use 4%. Inclusion of a line item for the development of an ED&C plan may not be

necessary for small operations, such as notice-level exploration. With small, uncomplicated reclamation efforts contracting may be able to proceed without

developing an ED&C plan. [ED&C is automatically eliminated if "Notice" is selected on the Property Information Sheet]

8. A contingency cost is included in the reclamation cost estimation to cover unforeseen cost elements. Calculate the contingency cost as a percentage of the

O&M cost as follows: up to and including $500,000, use 10%; over $500,000 to $5 million, use 8%; over $5 million to $50 million, use 6%; and greater than $50

million, use 4%. As with the ED&C cost, inclusion of a contingency cost may not be necessary for small operations, such as notice-level exploration.

9. Insurance premiums are calculated at 1.5% of the total labor costs. Enter the premium amount if liability insurance is not included in the itemized unit costs.

10. Federal construction contracts exceeding $100,000 require both a performance and a payment bond (Miller Act, 40 USC 270et seq.). Each bond premium is

figured at 1.5% of the O&M cost. Enter the sum of both premium costs on this line.

11. For Federal construction contracts, use 10% of estimated O&M cost for the contractor’s profit.

12. To estimate the contract administration cost, use 6 to 10% of the operational and maintenance (O&M) cost. Calculate the contract administration cost as a

percentage of the O&M cost as follows: up to and including $1 million, use 10%; over $1 million to $25 million, use 8%; and greater than $25 million use 6%.

RECLAMATION COST ESTIMATION SUMMARY SHEET FOOTNOTES1. Federal construction contracts require Davis-Bacon wage rates for contracts over $2,000. Wage rate estimates may include base pay, payroll loading, overhead

and profit. To avoid double counting of any of the identified administrative costs the operator must itemize the components of their labor cost estimates or provide

BLM with a signed statement, under penalty of USC 1001, that identifies what specific administrative costs are included in the quoted hourly rate.

2. The reclamation cost estimate must include the estimated plugging cost of at least one drill hole for each active drill rig in the project area. Where the submitted

Notice or approved Plan of Operations calls for drill holes to be plugged, but doesn’t specifically require the drill holes be plugged before the drill rig has been moved

from the drill pad, the reclamation cost estimate must include the plugging cost for those drill holes. For all drill holes and wells scheduled to be left open, the

estimated plugging cost must be included in the reclamation cost estimate. Where the approved Plan of Operations proposes immediate mining through an area

where the drilling is to occur, and the cost of the post-mining reclamation is included in the reclamation cost estimate, the cost estimate does not need to include the

plugging costs for those drill holes.

3. Miscellaneous items should be itemized on accompanying worksheets.
