Ann: Lady Grey Exploration Update, page-4

The rinse & repeat heritage clearance surveys, costs involved and delays is a blight on the exploration industry.
As it stands, if you have a tenement and get a heritage clearance survey done, it'll cost in the vicinity of $80 to $100+k for a few days walking around the bush with a few of the locals ( 6 to 8 average ) @ around $800 per person per day which I don't mind, the rest of it has big ???
The big problem is that if you actually drop the tenement after all this is done due to lack of exploration success or simply run out of money then the next Fella ( Company ) comes along and picks up the ground and then they've got to go through the whole heritage survey thing all over again and low and behold there's a delay because the whole circle is being played out everywhere and the heritage groups can't keep up.
Simple answer!!! once a survey is done in an area, it is recorded on a website for everyone to see and instead of the rinse and repeat cycle and associated costs & delays, there is simply a standard fair fee paid to the locals so there are no more delays and no more extra costs going to all the hangeroners!!!
