Don't underestimate the termite, can get in the narrow access areas in the old workings that MMG has and is easily moved and set up. The local miners have learned on the termite, then advanced to the Hagby, very useful. So they bought another of both, great to have our own drills and drillers for full time 2 shift operation. And now the new assay lab starting up will give them quick info on where to advance the drilling. The 2-3 month wait for assays in Mex has prevented optimum use of the drills. Most other jrs have to contract out drilling, note the wait for drills and/or drillers, and expense. Then drill a round and wait for assays. Finance up and repeat. But they have little choice as are usually drilling remote areas with no local experienced help, and can't afford to have their own drills and crews full time.
