These tasks at the C Zone in eastern Bolivia include: * final topographical mapping of the plant site and expanded tailings Tailings (also known as tailings pile, tails, leach residue, or slickens[1]) are the materials left over[2] after the process of separating the valuable fraction from the worthless fraction of an ore. impoundment An action taken by the president in which he or she proposes not to spend all or part of a sum of money appropriated by Congress. The current rules and procedures for impoundment were created by the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C.A. ; * completion of a deep trenching program to assure geological continuity between sampling sites; * final environmental permitting that will allow ramping up from pilot operations to full-scale gold production; and * finalizing the C Zone mine plan. As announced on February 13, 2007, Golden Eagle is also moving forward with its renewed focus on its Buen Futuro (A Zone) gold and copper project located 5 kilometers (3.2 miles) east of its C Zone gold project in eastern Bolivia. The Buen Futuro mineral deposits are found in a gold oxide layer that commences at the surface and ranges to depths of 130 to 200 feet.
