Post Oxymin Image (after 1978)

     CGP Exhibit (A-1, Feb. 1997 draft plan) labeled, "Aerial photo showing the conditions of the property when CGP purchased it from Occidental Mineral in 1992." However, Oxymin abandoned the site in 1978. This photo, labeled "Koogle & Pouls Engineering" (of Albq.), is not dated. The image is placed with north at the top. Notice the surface of the 100 x 100 x 100 foot "cube" Oxymin turned into rubble....

     Occidental's exploratory drilling activities had left many trees & bushes thriving outside what was to become the 3 acre CGP mine zone. "[N]othing in the Applicant's submittals demonstrates it [CGP] can successfully establish trees at this site." --F. L. Green

Compare 1978 with 1993 with 1996 with 1997 with 1998 with 1999 with 2000

Notice the surface of the 100 x 100 x 100 foot "cube" Oxymin turned into rubble for an in-situ leaching operation that never was allowed to proceed:
