Addendum to the Pima Pineapple Cactus Survey: Proposed Rosemont ProjectSanta Rita Road Alignment Report: Approximately 46.2 Acres along Corto,Country Club, Santa Rita, and Dawson Roads, Pima County, ArizonaOctober 7, 2011Page 21. INTRODUCTIONThis report is an addendum to the report “Pima Pineapple Cactus Survey: Proposed Rosemont ProjectSanta Rita Road Alignment”, dated December 18, 2009, produced by WestLand Resources, Inc.(WestLand), for Rosemont Copper Company (Rosemont). The alignment for the Santa Rita Road utilityalternative was expanded to include approximately 46.2 acres of additional lands located in portions ofSections 18, 19, 20, and 29, Township 17 South, Range 14 East, Gila and Salt River Meridian. The newsurvey area includes an approximately 200-foot widening northward (north from the Section 29 southernboundary) of the previous survey area along Corto Road between Country Club Road and Rosemont’sSanrita South parcel (approximately 0.25 mile in length); a 50-foot widening westward of the previoussurvey along the west side of Country Club Road from El Toro Road to Corto Road (approximately 2miles in length); 100 feet wide on the south side of Dawson Road between Country Club Road and SantaRita Road (approximately 4,000 feet in length); 100 feet wide on the southwest side of Santa Rita Roadfrom Country Club Road northwest for approximately 1.25 miles; and from that point on Santa Rita Roadas it turns north, fence line to fence line (approximately 60 feet wide) for approximately 1 mile (theAddendum Area; Figure 1). No survey had previously been conducted along the Dawson Road and SantaRita Road portions of this area.The Addendum Area is on State Trust lands administered by the Arizona State Land Department, exceptthe last segment of Santa Rita Road, which is Town of Sahuarita right of way on privately owned land.At the request of Rosemont, WestLand surveyed the Addendum Area for Pima pineapple cactus(Coryphantha scheeri var. robustispina; PPC).2. METHODSThe survey followed guidelines set forth in the USFWS document entitled Pima Pineapple Cactus 3 TierSurvey Methods (Roller 1996), the same protocol followed for the original survey. WestLand fieldtechnicians with PPC survey experience walked transects approximately 15 feet apart to attain 100percent coverage of the Addendum Area.The UTM coordinates of PPC found during the survey were recorded on a GPS unit. Processing of PPCincluded wiring a tag with a unique number to a small rock and placing it next to the PPC, and recordingthe number of stems and general health of the PPC.3. PIMA PINEAPPLE CACTUS SURVEY RESULTSA one-hundred-percent (100%) coverage of the Addendum Area for PPC was conducted, with oneportion surveyed on December 28, 2010, and the remainder on August 29 and September 1, 2011.WestLand mapped, tagged, and recorded data for 20 live PPC that were found during the survey efforts(Figure 2). The UTM coordinates and notes for the PPC found during the survey are provided in Table 1.One PPC was found between north of Corto Road between Country Club Road and the Sanrita SouthQ:\Jobs\1000's\1049.29\Addenda Santa Rita Road Alignment\Addendum Santa Rita Road PPC Survey 100711.docxWestLand Resources, Inc.Engineering and Environmental Consultants

Addendum to the Pima Pineapple Cactus Survey: Proposed Rosemont ProjectSanta Rita Road Alignment Report: Approximately 46.2 Acres along Corto,Country Club, Santa Rita, and Dawson Roads, Pima County, ArizonaOctober 7, 2011Page 3parcel near PPC that were found during the original survey, one PPC was found along Country Club Roada short distance north of Corto Road, also near the location of previously found PPC, and 18 PPC werefound along an approximately 3,600-foot-long stretch of Santa Rita Road, between the southern end ofthe Town of Sahuarita right of way and approximately 1,450 feet southeast of the Dawson Roadintersection. No PPC were found along Dawson Road, along Country Club Road north of Santa RitaRoad, or along Santa Rita Road for the first approximately 0.75 mile northwest of Country Club Road orthe northern approximately 1.25 miles of Country Club Road, within the Town of Sahuarita right of way.Drewes (1971) produced a geologic map focusing on bedrock units in the Santa Rita Mountains, but thatincluded the alluvial surfaces of the Addendum Area. Most of the Project Area surveyed for PPC was onPleistocene-age Qgth gravel unit (Figure 3). The Qgth unit of alluvium occurs as higher terraces andpediments, capped by a moderately well developed red to brown soil or soil complex. Drewes delineatedan “a” boundary with a prominent older soil of the Qgth complex west of the boundary. The “a” boundarypasses through the extreme southeastern corner of the Addendum Area, so nearly all of the AddendumArea is west of the line. All of the 20 PPC except one were found on the Qtgh surface west of the “a”boundary (Figure 3). The only other of Drewes’ geologic units that the Addendum Area crosses are QTg(alluvium of the piedmont area aged on the older Pleistocene – Pliocene age boundary) on most of thenorthern mile of Santa Rita Road, and QTgr (similar to QTg, but derived from upstream on the SantaCruz River rather than the mountains to the east) at one short wash crossing along Country Club Roadand on a short segment on the northern mile of Santa Rita Road. One PPC was found on the QTg surfaceseveral hundred feet northwest of PPC on Qgth surface along Santa Rita Road.Pearthree and Youberg (2000) mapped the surficial geology of the same area as Drewes (Figure 4).Alluvium on which all of the 20 PPC occur is identified by them as Qm, middle Pleistocene alluvium.Except for a Qy surface encountered at two wash crossings (undifferentiated Holocene alluvium that isequivalent to Drewes’ QTgr at the wash crossing along Country Club Road), the only other mapped unitsthat the Addendum Area crosses are Qly, a younger late Pleistocene to Holocene alluvium along DawsonRoad and a short segment of the northern mile of Santa Rita Road along the edge of the Santa Cruz Riverfloodplain; and QTs (early Pleistocene to Pliocene alluvium) on the northern mile of Santa Rita Road.These two surfaces are not distinguished on Drewes’ map.As noted above, 18 PPC were found along Santa Rita Road (and the other two to the south), with severalPPC no more than 400 feet from Dawson Road, but no PPC were found along Dawson Road. Themapped boundary of the Qm and Qly surfaces is between the two roads, then cuts north across DawsonRoad a short distance east of the intersection of the two roads. Although numerous PPC were found onthe Qly surface during the original Santa Rita Road alignment survey, they were all on that surface morethan 2 miles southeast of the Qly surface within the Addendum Area. During the original Santa Rita Roadalignment survey, no PPC were found on other Qly surface around the intersection of Dawson Road andCountry Club Road and along Dawson Road directly east of the Addendum Area.

The UTM coordinates and notes for those 48 PPC are included in Table 1 to provide all PPCdata for the alignment in one place. Additional information, including a site description of the entire SantaRita Road utility alignment and a discussion the PPC locations in relation to geologic units, is found inthe report to which this is an addendum.Table 1.
