My Department is receiving regular progress reports from the operating company whose operations are almost completed. Within three months of the completion of the drilling we will be sent final reports which will include a complete appraisal of all imformation gathered. Drilling results are not normally published by me and the decision to publish such results is basically a matter for the company concerned.
