Hello Adam,
I have a couple of questions with regards to this transfer request for Ocean Pines Mine (10-14):
1. It doesn't appear that they have completed the first three (3) pages of the reformatted
version of the Mining Application.
2. They also haven't submitted an updated mine map.
I've uploaded the inspection report to this email and onto (BEAM. If you have any questions,
comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to call or email me at any time.
Thankyou!
