| By May 2004, more than 10,000 tons of high-grade ore had been mined from this adit. |
| At Faido, following completion of the access adit down to the starting point, construction work on the multifunction station begins. |
| The access adit will then become the logistical artery for the work of driving the tunnel. |
| The authorization to excavate an exploratory adit in the accident area was granted in June 2005, allowing the work to begin immediately. |
| Today the adit can still be seen at the confluence of the Uncompahgre River and Canyon Creek, at the base of Oak Street on the southwest side of Ouray. |
| Two shafts and an adit were ultimately driven, but Dunham reported that recorded output of lead concentrates for this period was fairly low. |
