Also, the whole area was peppered with old drillholes in the early 80s, following the Telfer and Nifty discoveries. Most of the original Mineral Claims and Temporary Reserves then expired or were dropped by the time the gold price collapsed to $240/oz in 1999, so all that Annual Repoting tenement data became available on Mines Department Open File. By the time Antipa selected their landholdings in the early 2,000s, it would have been a very simple matter to put together a regional map of depth to bedrock and use that as the basis for tenement acquisition. And I am sure that is exactly what they did.
