CTGX Mining, Inc. (CHCX)

[Mick Dodge]

Each CTGX mining operation is required to maintain a waste rock management plan that includes procedures to identify and manage materials which may be subject to leaching, including acids, metals or other substances that could potentially impact surface or groundwater. Waste rock piles are designed and constructed to be stable. We have company-wide systems to regularly monitor and inspect waste piles to ensure that they are being maintained in accordance with our standards. If waste rock is geochemically suitable, in some cases it can be used as a source for fill, road base or other construction purposes. CHCX
