Requirements of Diamond Drilling Submissions for Assessment Credit (Section 16(1))

Exploratory drilling by core or non-core method, including diamond or core drilling, and other drilling such as percussion, reverse circulation and auger drilling, are eligible for assessment work credit if the holder of the mining land submits a typewritten report on the drilling, the drill hole logs, the drilling plan and a drill hole section.

• The report must be suitable for photographic reproduction, and
  • indicate the number of holes drilled and the total length of drilling;
  • identify the mining land on which the work was performed, its location and the means of access to it;
  • contain a key map showing the land worked in relation to identifiable topographic features and township boundaries or established survey lines, stations or markers;
  • give the name of the author of the report and the names and addresses of the persons who supervised the work;
  • give a summary of the exploration and development work performed on the land;
  • give the date of completion of the report; and
  • contain a list of references or a bibliography.
• The drill hole logs must be on durable paper suitable for photographic reproduction, and
  • identify the hole by number;
  • give the mining claim numbers or mining land numbers on which the hole is drilled;
  • indicate the location of the drill hole collar in relation to the grid line co-ordinates, claim posts and identifiable geographic reference points;
  • indicate the angle and azimuth of the hole;
  • indicate the size of the core, or the diameter of the drill hole if bored other than by core drilling;
  • state the starting and completion dates of the drilling;
  • state the name of the drill contractor;
  • state the storage location of the core or drill sample material;
  • indicate the thickness of overburden in the core drilling holes;
  • adequately describe all geological units encountered in terms of their thickness, composition, colour, textures, structure, grain size, degree of sorting, mineralization and alteration, as appropriate;
  • indicate the total depth of penetration of the drill hole in bedrock and unconsolidated material;
  • indicate the location and type of all samples taken for assay or physical tests;
  • state the date of completion of the log;
  • contain the printed name of the author of the log;
  • provide a legend of all symbols or abbreviations used in the logs.
  • include assay values for sections assayed with appropriate certificates;
  • be signed by the author of the report or core logger; and
  • for overburden drilling designated specifically to sample unconsolidated materials, describe the stratigraphy of the materials encountered as to type of material, thickness, colour, textures, structure, grain size, degree of sorting and mineralization, and describe the type of bedrock penetrated, if reached.
• The drilling plan must be on durable paper, suitable for photographic reproduction, and
  • be at a scale between 1:10 and 1:5,000
  • contain a graphic or bar scale and show the magnetic north and the declination;
  • show all lakes, streams and other notable topographic features, and all relative cultural features such as railways and power lines;
  • accurately show all mining land boundaries, claim posts, claim numbers, township boundary lines, roads, lot and concession lines, base lines, picket lines and survey boundaries and stations, where identifiable, in relation to topographic features;
  • show the location of drill hole collars and the numbers, angles and depths of all drill holes in relation to clauses (3) (c), (d) and (e) in such a manner that relocation of the hole is simplified; and
  • include, where available, assayed intervals and assay averages.
• The drill hole section must be on durable paper suitable for photographic reproduction, and
  • indicate the overburden, rock types or type of material intersected;
  • be at a scale between 1:10 and 1:5,000;
  • contain a graphic or bar scale;
  • give the astronomic azimuth of the hole;
  • show coordinate lines corresponding with those shown on the drilling map;
  • indicate the total length of the hole;
  • contain a legend for codes or symbols corresponding to unconsolidated materials, mineralization and structure;
  • show the location of the unconsolidated materials and mineralization designated by code or symbol corresponding to those mentioned above (previous clause);
  • show the number of the mining claim or mining land on which the hole is drilled;
  • show the number and angle of the drill hole.
  • include, where available, assayed intervals and assay averages.
