Dear Mr. Parr:
This letter is to request that Mining Permit No. 19-11 containing the operation and reclamation requirements for
Gulf Mine No. 3 in Chatham County be transferred in its entirety from Meridian Brick LLC to Bobby A. Branch.
Bobby A. Branch has agreed to accept any and all responsibilities and liabilities with respect to the Mining Act of

Upon completion of the mining permit transfer for this site, it is requested that liability for the reclamation of this mine
site be removed from Meridian Brick LLC's $500,000 blanket reclamation bond.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. If you should have any questions or need additional information, please
