Drilling Strategy cost overlooked

....... This is what I have read not what I know!

As part of exploration legislation, drilling companies are required to cap off/cover drill holes to prevent wildlife entering when the hole is completed. If there has been no seismic activity and the holes are intact, then before carrying out further drilling, down hole surveys would be carried out to determine position relative to north, alteration, magnetic and mineral direction..

So in the case of Earnest Giles and other tenement existing holes would most likely be surveyed first with the latest technology before drilling further holes where possible.
