The water sample testing results provided by Analytical Laboratories, Inc., Boise, Idaho, support the company's reporting records. The summary of the last six-month weekly averages are as follows:
| Drinking water standards | Six-month average | |
| Arsenic | 10 ppb | 3 ppb |
| Iron | 1,000 ppb | 86 ppb |
| Total Suspended Solids | 30 ppm | <3 ppm |

The Company continues to improve the system to address potential seasonal variations to flow volumes and surges. The capture of suspended solids in the pre-pond filters has demonstrated there is recovery of byproduct minerals.
