That is high unless you are talking difficult access and NQ. It depends on how many feet and how far back. If it's a short hole or not many holes and all short I can understand that price structure. Prices should be coming down a tad this summer. BQ by the side of the road should go for 15-16 a foot. In Canada it's quoted metrically. I am drilling now for 38 a metre which is a special deal. Don't try to get that. So think in terms of 15 a foot plus mobe and demobe. So of you have 5,000 feet you might pay about 85,000 in some situations. You can add extra for cementing and rough ground. That is by the hour and might be 150 an hour. (CDN) --------------------------------------------------------------
