Report: EXCERPT FROM LETTER TO : Chief Mineral Regulation and Development Section U.S. Bureau of Land Management P.O. Box 36800 Billings, MT 59107 Dear Sir: As requested by Mr. Steve Van Matre, I have summarized the analytical results of samples collected at the Cominco mine site… A fifth sample was collected at the Lower Luke Mine (T10NR9W Section 15) on the same date; the analytical results are included in the attachment. The low discharge and limited extent of the adit discharge necessitated only a single sample. None of the constituents for which standards were reviewed were exceeded in this sample.
