(1) Yes I table a copy of the Environmental Field Notice. (2) Not applicable. (3) Yes I table a copy of the formal letter of warning. (4) Not applicable. (5) Condition W1 of Licence 5029/6 issued on 7 October 2002 stated: " The Licensee shall retain all matter containing saline or alkaline, or cyanide constituents within holding facilities in a manner which prevents pollution. Pollution includes, but is not limited to, the constituents of tailings damaging vegetation, contaminating surface waters or contaminating underground waters. " The Environmental Field Notice was issued as the DoE considered that Kanowna Belle were not taking practicable steps to retain cyanide containing matter within holding facilities. Whilst the spills on the surface were individually not considered pollution, the DoE considered that repeated spills had a likelihood to constitute pollution. (6) Not applicable. (7) Condition W6 of Licence 5029/6 issued on 7 October 2002 stated: " Any failure of the waste management systems resulting in a loss of potentially polluting matter to the environment, shall be immediately reported to the Director together with a programme for corrective action ." The Environmental Field Notice was issued as the DoE considered that Kanowna Belle had not immediately reported the failure of the waste management systems. (8) Not applicable. (9) Condition G1 of Licence 5029/6 issued on 7 October 2002 stated: " G1(a) The Licensee shall advise the Goldfields Region Office in writing within 24 hours of becoming aware of an exceedance of any measurement which indicates that any discharge limit specified in these conditions of licence has been exceeded. G1(b) The written advice required by condition G1(a) shall include: (i) the date, time and probable reason for the exceedance; (ii) an estimate of the period over which the limit was or is likely to be exceeded; and (iii) an estimate of the extent of the discharge over that period and indication of known or potential environmental impacts. G1(c) The Licensee shall provide a full report (unless otherwise approved by the Director) on its investigations into any exceedance reported under condition G1(a) within 7 days of that exceedance, and it shall include, but not be limited to: (i) the date, time and reason for the exceedance (ii) period over which the exceedance occurred; (iii) the extent of the discharge over that period and potential or known environmental consequences. (iv) corrective action taken or planned to mitigate adverse environmental consequences; and (v) corrective action taken or planned to prevent a recurrence of the exceedance. " The Environmental Field Notice was issued as the DoE considered that Kanowna Belle had not at that time provided a written report into failure of the waste management systems. (10) Not applicable. (11) Groundwater at Kanowna Bell TSF was originally encountered at between 12m and 15m below ground level. (12) Not applicable. (13) In 2003 water levels around the TSF had risen to between 0.5m and 7m below ground surface. As a result, Kanowna Belle installed 14 seepage recovery bores that were installed along the northern and southern boundary of the TSF in 2003. Since that time water levels have started to decline with water levels by the end of 2004 between 1m and 8m below ground level. The 2005 Annual Environmental Report for this site is due in the first quarter of 2006. (14) Not applicable. (15) The depth to groundwater provided in (11) is consistent with the known depths to groundwater as developed from historical groundwater studies and geological mapping of the area. (16) Not applicable. (17) The depths to groundwater provided in (13) have been rounded to the nearest 0.5m by DoE from data provided in Kanowna Belle's annual environmental reports and are reliable as far as we can ascertain. (18) Not applicable.

" The Environmental Field Notice was issued as the DoE considered that Kanowna Belle had not at that time provided a written report into failure of the waste management systems. (10) Not applicable. (11) Groundwater at Kanowna Bell TSF was originally encountered at between 12m and 15m below ground level. (12) Not applicable. (13) In 2003 water levels around the TSF had risen to between 0.5m and 7m below ground surface. As a result, Kanowna Belle installed 14 seepage recovery bores that were installed along the northern and southern boundary of the TSF in 2003. Since that time water levels have started to decline with water levels by the end of 2004 between 1m and 8m below ground level. The 2005 Annual Environmental Report for this site is due in the first quarter of 2006. (14) Not applicable. (15) The depth to groundwater provided in (11) is consistent with the known depths to groundwater as developed from historical groundwater studies and geological mapping of the area. (16) Not applicable. (17) The depths to groundwater provided in (13) have been rounded to the nearest 0.5m by DoE from data provided in Kanowna Belle's annual environmental reports and are reliable as far as we can ascertain.
