STIPULATED REQUEST TO STAY DATES IN SCHEDULING ORDER 1

sf-2488392 

WHEREAS, the present litigation between Plaintiff and Counter-Defendant CARSON 

HILL GOLD MINING CORPORATION (“CHGMC”) and Defendant and Counterclaimant 

SUTTON ENTERPRISES (“Sutton”) focuses on contractual allocations of responsibility for 

environmental conditions at the Carson Hill Mine (“Mine”) near Angels Camp in Calaveras 

County, California; and 

WHEREAS, on January 10, 2007, more than four months after the filing of this lawsuit, 

the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (“Water Board”) issued a Cleanup and 

Abatement Order, No. R5-2007-0700 (“CAO”), to Carson Hill Rock Products, an entity of 

Sutton, and CHGMC, regarding water quality issues at the Mine; and 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the CAO, CHGMC submitted a final Closure Plan for the Mine 

to the Water Board on February 15, 2008; and 

WHEREAS, the final Closure Plan for the Mine proposed long-term measures at the Mine 

to address water quality concerns; and 

WHEREAS, as of the date of this stipulation, the Water Board has not formally approved 

the Closure Plan nor has issued new waste discharge requirements (“WDRs”) for the Mine, as 

anticipated under the CAO; and 

WHEREAS, the specific requirements of the CAO and the Closure Plan were not 

contemplated by the parties at the time of the filing of the lawsuit, and the parties anticipate that 

the measures implemented under the CAO, the proposed Closure Plan and the anticipated WDRs 

for the following years may have an impact on the issues in this litigation; and 

WHEREAS, the parties have been working together to resolve the issues raised in this 

litigation and to address the specific requirements of the CAO and the proposed Closure Plan; and 

WHEREAS, based on a stipulated request by the parties, the Court previously adopted the 

following litigation schedule for the case:
