In conjunction with drilling and completion activities, core, <br />chip, or cutting samples will be collected from the drillholes and analyzed to characterize <br />• surficial and underlying alluvial/colluvial and rock materials; and geotechnical characteristics <br />and conditions. In order to provide complete documentatron for both the approved and <br />proposed drilling and related activities, Oxbow Mining, Inc.
