This project started in 2009 and has resulted in an on-going relationship between Helidrill and the L&M Group of Companies.
The drilling program at Denniston was for Coal Exploration with 20+ PQ holes to an average depth of 50 metres. The location of the majority of the holes required the crew to once again camp on site at each hole, with the rig and camping equipment flown between drill sites.

The drill sites were mostly on rocky outcrops, giving the drillers a fantastic view of the Denniston Plateau, although at times they were very exposed to the elements.
The Geologist was Duncan Ritchie, he was flown in at the end of each hole to check the completed hole and advise the location of the next hole. In between times he was kept up to date with daily emails and phone calls as required.
