As long as they can get a correct model of the target area---
does it matter.I don't think a diamond drill would be
appropriate if the material is very loose,(opinion).

<< In your opinion could this property be drilled effectively, and what kind of drill do you think would be used for this kind of deposit ? >>

Although the property has bedrock as deep as 2000 meters below surface (which would justify diamond drillng), I understand that the bulk of it is a placer deposit consisting of beds of gravel, sand and clays.

So my opinion is that prospecting methods should include auger and RC drilling depending on the depth of the soft material. Bulk sampling is also a mehod that would ne utilized.
