ERO 019-0653

Please add more work types for drilling including drill core logging and drill core sampling in MLAS.

Comment suggesting daily labour charges without receipts cannot exceed $350/day is too low. An inexperienced labourer is >$400/day in 2022 and may continue to increase with lack of personnel available. Charge for an experienced labour (who would do a job in less time) is much higher.

Lodging rates of $50/day do not exist. A minimum rate of $125/day should be applied without receipts. A per diem of $50/day is too low in 2022. Determination of acceptable costs to do work should reflect current costs and inflation with realization of variation of costs depending in which region the work is being done.

Please define what is an acceptable receipt from a contractor.

Please provide a list or words or terms for work carried out on claims that are not acceptable on invoices/receipts. For example “Project management” which can be provided by a consultant to run a remote drill program with several sub contractors is not an acceptable term to be used for an expense for assessment credit, but the program could not be completed without this oversight and management by the contractor if the company does not have an employee capable of completing this task.
