83. The report on drill-holes shall present the objective of the work carried out and shall include the following information:

(1)  the observed or measured geological data;

(2)  the sampling method for cores, sludge or rock fragments that was used and the methods for verifying the samplings and the results of the verifications;

(3)  the analytical results, the verification procedures for the analyses and the results of the verifications.

The report on drill-holes shall also include, as schedules, the following elements:

(1)  the maps established to a scale that makes it possible to locate the work and identify the geological information, including the location of each drill-hole collar and its horizontal projection with reference to the boundaries of the land subject to the mining right;

(2)  where applicable, the analysis certificates giving the complete results obtained for each sample whose number corresponds to that indicated in survey logs and the certificates giving all the verification results for the samplings and analyses, including those of the dual holes;

(3)  a logbook indicating, for each of the holes, including the dual holes for inspection:

(a)  the identification of the hole, the altitude of the collar, the diameter of the hole, its depth, the survey methods used, its direction, the angle measures carried out and the method used, the presence of the casing and the rectangular UTM coordinates (Universal Transverse Mercator) and the zone, enabling to locate the test hole, defined according to the North American Datum 1927 (NAD27), and its system of geodesic coordinates, or according to the North American Datum 1983 (NAD83), and its system of geodesic coordinates in effect, in compliance with the National Topographic System of Canada (NTS);

(b)  the depth and nature of overburden penetrated, the consecutive depths of intersection of the various rocks or varieties of the same rock, the mineralogical and structural information, alterations and, where applicable, the nature, distribution and abundance of mineralization;

(c)  where applicable, the recording of the lost intervals or partial recovery, or the recording of intervals contaminated by crumbling walls;

(d)  the depth and length of each of the sections analysed, the results obtained from the analyses and the verification results for the analyses;

(e)  the tridimensional orientation method of the drill-hole used and the results of the measures and verifications carried out;

(f)  the storage site of the drill-hole cores or samples of percussion drilling or reverse circulation.

The report shall be signed by a qualified professional under whose supervision the work was carried out and shall include the work declaration form, duly completed, supplied by the Minister.

The analysis certificates referred to in subparagraph 2 of the second paragraph shall be dated and signed by the person in charge of the laboratory where the analyses were carried out.

The record of drill-holes referred to in subparagraph 3 of the second paragraph shall be signed by a qualified professional who proceeded with the examination of the cores, sludge or fragments.
