drill programs , they ’ ve all been very cost effective . Costs have never blown out for us , and all the data is clean , which is what we like to see .
How technology is redefining the industry and redefining Greatland Gold ?
Baxter : The science is evolving and the techniques are developing as well . There ’ s been a lot of advances over the last 25 years that I ’ ve seen , such as airborne geophysics . Airborne geophysics is a fantastic tool , and these days it ’ s very cost effective . Probably 25 years ago , airborne magnetics would have cost about $ 150 per line kilometre . Now you can get it for about $ 11 per line kilometre and it ’ s very powerful . It helps us look under cover , so we can see geology through cover sequences and big structures and combine that with ground gravity work – which has also come a long way .
You can get a box the size of a briefcase into the field and the data that ’ s collected from those blended
