Wiley Consulting, LLC (Wiley) was formed in 2001 to continue the mining consulting practice of Marcus A. Wiley. The mining engineering consulting firm, Wiley Engineering, Inc provided professional services to the mining industry for over 27 years. The company was established in 1981 by Marcus A. Wiley to provide clients with professional services in mineral research, exploration, geologic mapping, reserve evaluation, mine engineering, permitting, operations review, feasibility studies, market analysis, bid evaluations, contract evaluations, project management, contract mining, contract reclamation and litigation support. These services are provided by professionals who have technical expertise, direct knowledge, and worldwide experience in various mineral commodities. Wiley offers project management, registered professional engineering and consulting services, which include all phases of mineral development. The involvement of our professionals in various exploration projects and mine operations provides a broad experience base from which these services are provided. Our extensive library contains published materials, which allow for quick research of various mineral commodities. We maintain contact with contractors for support services such as drilling, geophysical logging, surveying, mapping and analytical labs. Regular communication with state, federal, and local government agencies keeps us up to date with continuing changes in regulation and permitting requirements. Another service that Wiley offers to the mining industry is contract mining and reclamation. Because of the extensive operations experience of Wiley personnel, companies have asked us to provide the equipment, labor and supervision to mine and/or reclaim their properties. We have moved millions of cubic yards of overburden in our contract mining and reclamation assignments. Because of educational and background experience, Wiley is able to provide expert witness and other litigation support to mineral industry clients. Mapping, backup calculations, operations review, document review, deposition support, graphic exhibits, settlement negotiations and damage calculations are some of the services provided in this area. Business management, civil engineering, computer aided drafting and design, electrical engineering, geology, geophysics, hydraulics, marketing, mechanical engineering, mineral economics, mine construction and training are some additional services available through Wiley. Attached is a listing of Wiley's primary capabilities, a partial client list, and a brief resume of some of our associates. Wiley would appreciate the opportunity to discuss the services provided with you and to assist your organization with its mining, geologic and engineering needs. The office is located at 6810 S. Tucson Way, Centennial, CO. which is in the Denver Tech Center area south of Denver, Colorado near the intersection of Interstate 25 and Arapahoe Road.

PRIMARY CAPABILITIES
FEASIBILITY STUDIES If your company desires to evaluate a mineral property, Wiley has the expertise to do complete feasibility studies from grass roots exploration to calculation of a selling price required to earn a Discounted Cash Flow Return on Investment (DCF-ROI.) From this information, Wiley will design a mine plan, select and price the mining equipment to properly and efficiently mine the reserves, prepare a manning table, calculate the drilling requirements, explosive costs, loading and haulage costs, power costs, maintenance and supply costs, beneficiation costs, taxes, depreciation, depletion, liability insurance and all other applicable operating costs. These economics can be used for several purposes, including: (1) determining the fair market value for a property or reserve; (2) determining whether the current economics of a property will justify developing and operating the property; (3) to support a prospectus designed to raise the capital funds required to develop, expand or retool the property; (4) to assist in sales contract negotiations or re-negotiations. If your property is already in operation, Wiley can simulate the economics to determine whether or not you are receiving a fair price, on a discounted cash flow basis, for your mineral products. GEOLOGY If your company is looking for a specific mineral commodity, Wiley can conduct complete geologic programs from field mapping to defining open-pit and underground design sectors. Some of the specific services performed include: exploration drilling and logging programs, geochemical and geophysical surveys, geologic mapping, excavation, sampling and logging of exploratory pits and trenches, aquifer tests, interpretation of aerial photography and other remote sensing imagery, evaluate slope stabilitys and roof/floor characteristics and define an optimum mining plan with required ore grade and waste control. PERMITTING Should your company need assistance with the permit phase of your project, Wiley will confirm property ownership, develop baseline data, prepare all pertinent state and federal documents, apply for operating permits (including air, water, NPDES, etc.), meet with appropriate government agencies and do any follow up required. In addition, Wiley will conduct ongoing field monitoring during the permit acquisition stage and continue into the mining phase.
