By June 30, aggregate drilling on the property totalled about 105,000 feet in 103 holds (A.D. Drummond, project engineer, Jonpol group of companies, pers. comm., July 15, 1988). As of August 25, 1988, aggregate drilling by the Jonpol group totalled 132,697 feet in 136 holes (A.D. Drummond, pers. comm.
