I disagree with the technical standards required for Airborne Geophysical surveys (non drone). Because these represent larger areas, some of the technical standards become extremely tedious. These include the table of claims/cell IDs covered and the historical work aspect of the area flown. Larger surveys may cover hundreds of cells and historical work entries. I believe that airborne geophysical surveys should be accepted with a logistics type report. Who, what, when, where and how.

I believe that all geophysical (ground and airborne) surveys that are submitted, should include either the georeferenced processed data or georeferenced raw data. Currently no credit is given for data entry for geological modelling, however if the model being created is using data from a previous claim holders then the data has to be manually entered and georeferenced, if it is available in numeric form. The data would assist any future claim holders but also would give the OGS a more robust dataset.

I disagree with what constitutes the requirements for a plan. These represent low impact exploration techniques and should not require a plan. Timelines on permits should be accelerated as to allow programs to flow.
