SURVEYING, LINE CLEARING & PERMITTING<br />

Surveying & gravity<br />

Line pegging, surveying and gravity readings for the survey were contracted to Dynamic Satellite Surveys (DSS)<br />

of Yeppoon, Qld. The surveying party consisting of Lynne Baker (DSS), Andrew Gibb (DSS) and Andrew<br />

Shearer (PIRSA) arrived at Honeymoon mine site on the 4 th August 2003. Mark Lefebvre (DSS) joined the crew<br />

later. Pegging and surveying at 40 m station intervals and gravity readings at every 10 th station commenced at<br />

station 1000 located at the NSW/SA border. This point was tied into the permanent marker for the 1996 AGSO<br />

line (96AGS-BH1A).<br />

A total of 2220 stations were surveyed & pegged before the rains caused a stop. The surveyors demobilized from<br />

Honeymoon on the 15 th August, 2003. The last gravity reading was at station 3220.<br />

Surveying recommenced on the 27 th June, 2004. Frank Tangney and Craig Davey mobilized from Yeppoon on<br />

the 20 th June 2004 and arrived at Curnamona station on the 23 rd June. As a significant number of pegs from the<br />

2003 survey were no longer present, repegging from station 1840 was required. Pegging, surveying and gravity<br />

readings were continued on from station 3220.<br />
